I enjoyed making last week’s video for “The Sofa Ate My Father” so much that I figured, why not do it again? I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make a video for every new poem I write, but it seems like a worthwhile goal, so let’s give it a shot. Here is a video for this week’s poem, “Annette the Detective.” Enjoy!

Video – The Sofa Ate My Father
I’ve been hearing from teachers that their students really like watching me read my videos. I always record audio for each new poem that I write, but I don’t record a lot of videos because they take so much longer to create. But, I think I’ve finally figured out a way to create them a little quicker so, I hope to start posting a lot more videos on Poetry4kids and on my YouTube channel. Here’s this week’s poem, “The Sofa Ate My Father.” Enjoy!

Video – Good Morning, Dear Students
Since this is one of the most popular poems on the website, I thought it should have a video to go with it. This is “Good Morning, Dear Students” from my book When the Teacher Isn’t Looking.
