Evaluation: 

An appropriate grade level for this poem collection would be 3^rd and 4^th grade because it falls more in the educational category of regarding than fun and story line books. I would use this book in my classroom because it will be a great book to use to teach my students about the different facts about a full moon. I would use this book in a lesson plan where I’m teaching them about the different phases of the moon. We can draw our full moons and write something we learned about the moon.
