Bow-Tie Pasta
Acrostic Poems
From the Series Poetry Adventures
Acrostic? What kind of stick is that? Actually, it’s a poem! Acrostic poems are created from a word or phrase written vertically down the page. Each letter becomes part of a line in the poem, revealing a thought or a clue about the poem’s topic. Award-winning author Brian P. Cleary shows how even the wackiest words can make an acrostic poem.
Bow-Tie Pasta is packed with acrostics to make you snicker and snort. And when you’ve finished reading, you can try your hand at writing your own poems!

Booklist
“[T]he overall light tone and friendly approach to an easy-to-replicate form of poetry make this a good addition to school poetry collections, for both studying types of poems and as a kick-start to creative writing efforts.”—Booklist
Publishers Weekly
“Full of silly moments, Rowland’s cartoons are as approachable as Cleary’s rhymes, making this a fine, funny lead-in to readers’ own acrostic explorations.”—Publishers Weekly
Kirkus Reviews
“Rowland’s brightly detailed illustrations neatly capture Cleary’s playful tone and whatever pun’s to be had. Entertaining and spirited . . . [a] wily collection of puzzler poems.”—Kirkus Reviews
