Orangutan Tongs: Poems To Tangle Your Tongue (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Genre: PoetryAwards: NoneGrade Level: K-2How to use: This would be a great book to use when having fun with letters and their sounds, sounding words out quickly, the kids will get tongue tied with some poems and then break them down to each and every word, making it a fun activity for kids to be able to get out of their typical learning text books and read something humorous. Orangutan Tongs by Jon Agee is a wonderful poetry book for young readers. The entire book is filled with poems in varying lengths that are meant to be tongue twisters. The tongue twisters are well written, funny, and easy to read to younger readers. You may get mixed up reading some of the words, but that is the fun of this book. I think that this book would be wonderful for intermediate level readers, because the words are simple while the tongue twisters make the reading a little bit more challenging.
