Billy & Milly Short & Silly


There are thirteen short - and I mean SHORT - poems that show the power of efficiently using words to get your point across. I have usually had the challenge of getting kids to s-t-r-e-t-c-h their thoughts out when writing, but this is a fun example of choosing the right words to succintly get your point across.


Dock Rock Shock Croc shows a boy fishing on a dock with a partially seen "rock," which soon causes shock as is shows its eyes, and we see its a crocodile!


Fun with word families as they can build into simple stories.
