Rock stars are cool. So is poetry.
Saturday night just isn't Saturday night without Katy Did and The Antennas. At least, until a rotten review leaves Katy's bandmates thinking maybe they could do better with another singer.What's a Katy Did to do when she's been dumped for a Songbird?

Featuring a main character who is both literally a katydid insect and the singer in her own band, Nobody Sang Like Katy Did is a picture book that offers a story of perseverance and finding beauty in unexpected places. In addition, the book provides a fun, attention-grabbing way to introduce young readers to formal poetry. The book itself is a villanelle, a type of poetry that features refrains that repeat throughout - much like the chorus in a rock song. Great for classroom use and for readers in the fourth to sixth grade. Sheets in the back of the book walk budding poets through writing their own first villanelle.
