I Am Someone Else: Poems About Pretending

There are few things that give children more pleasure than playing Let’s Pretend. Children’s poet and editor, Lee Bennett Hopkins, invited a number of talented children’s poets to contribute to this delightful collection of verses all about pretending. He has broken the poems into three sections. The first is called Wish! and contains poems about pretending to be magical beings such as wizards, mermaids, pirates, and more. The second section — Support! — is about becoming veterinarians, police officers, pilots, and others. The third section — Invent! — is about being a chef, poet, construction worker or something else.
