Daddy, Daddy, Be There By Candy Dawson Boyd and Floyd Cooper

I happened to stumble upon this book when doing some reading for a project. It is not really a poetry book. It is book written about fathers. On each page the text starts with Daddy, daddy…… then goes on to describe how fathers make their children feel or experiences children share with their fathers. . There is a mellow tone to the book and the illustrations portray this with the subdued colors. The illustrations were kind of blurred, almost creating a dream sequence as if recalling a memory.
The way that the text is written I feel that every page could be its own poem. When the poems are read aloud there is a rhythm to them, which is something that many poems have. I think I hold lose definition of poetry, I just think that poetry is different for every person so who am I to say they are wrong? Even though this book is not categorized as a poetry book in the library if I had my own classroom I would have this book in the poetry section.
