Many students wrote that\u00a0<em>Where the Sidewalk Ends<\/em>\u00a0inspired them to make poems and a fifth grader said that the book M<em>y Dog May be a Genius<\/em> was very funny and he wants to make book just like it.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion I think that these both books are very special and inspiring in their own ways. I also think that the book <em>Where the Sidewalk Ends<\/em> is very weird but in a good way because they are supposed to be poems that are trying to bring adults back to a kid and it reminds me of something I would want to read when I am an adult too. Something about the book <em>My Dog May be a Genius<\/em> is that it is very childish and for kids that want to imagine different things. I think that if I would have to choose one it would be<em> Where the Sidewalk Ends<\/em> because I feel like it has a bigger story during each poem, but I think that <em>My Dog May be a Genius<\/em> will catch the kids attention.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tune for next month which we will be doing\u00a0<strong>DC\u00a0<\/strong><em>vs\u00a0<strong>MARVEL\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of April&#8217;s National Poetry Month, Battle of the Books pitted Shel Silverstein&#8217;s\u00a0Where the Sidewalk Ends against Jack\u00a0Prelutsky&#8217;s My Dog May be a Genius. &nbsp; Shel Silverstein explained that his book Where the Sidewalk Ends is about him making poems about how an adult should take a rest from everything that is happening and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-battle-of-the-books"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/queloque.chcs89.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/queloque.chcs89.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/queloque.chcs89.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/queloque.chcs89.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/queloque.chcs89.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/queloque.chcs89.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2527\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/queloque.chcs89.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/queloque.chcs89.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/queloque.chcs89.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
