About the book

Poetry is meant to be savoured, and this playful collection invites young readers to jump right in. In How To Eat A Poem, Eve Merriam delivers a lively feast of language where words twist, tumble, splash, and sing. Riddles, counting poems, and sound driven verses bring everyday moments to life, from spaghetti that winds and winds to rain that goes drip drop and machines that swish swash. Perfect for reading aloud, shared laughter, and classroom discovery, these poems build a child's ear for language while celebrating the sheer fun of words. A fresh, irresistible invitation to taste poetry one delicious bite at a time.
