Children love Sonja Dunn's ear-catching poems, and here are 200 of her best in one volume. This comprehensive anthology brings together virtually all of her most popular classroom chants plus tips for learning with playful rhymes, poems, raps, and songs.
 Sonja uses the rhythm and rhyme of language as a springboard into learning through mime, drama, art, and music. From short chants to longer raps adapted from classic stories, learning has never been more fun or more effective. Designed for easy classroom use, the chants are organized around popular themes and provide unique opportunities for dynamic, active learning.
Individual chants are ideal as mini-lessons that revolve around important topics for kids--from amusing events in the lives of family and friends to unusual approaches to food, fantastic monsters, computers, and even outer space. The catchy beats and energy in these poems offer something for all students, regardless of language ability, age, or classroom structure.
These sometimes hilarious and often thought-provoking chants will encourage children to explore the magic of language in new and unusual ways.

All Together Now

Stenhouse Publishers

These prophetic voices paint the many characters who inhabit your life and landscape. Six strong poets will carry you: laughing at the pratfalls that trip us all, but picking ourselves up and dancing into the 21st century, knowing only by shared words do we continue living.Caroline Davidson can capture in Emily Dickinson brevity the pathos of six partying boys lost in Lake Ontario. While Roger Nash, a philosopher, meditates in rich metaphors on settings and situations of his frequent travels to the Middle East and Asia. Sonja Dunn finds the cycle of continuing in life cameos. With musical wordplays and syllable sound effects, James Reaney teases and taunts you with his insights: "two sides of a breath". Bernice Lever tangles cliches and conversational comments in sly recordings until the 'everyday' is luminous. Robert Sward sculpts contemporary dialogue and details into biting biographies.
