Falling Up Do you like poem books? Well then I have the right book for you. The book is Falling Up. Of course you know it is a poem book. For example, one of the best poems is “Falling Up”. Some of the charters are Hannah Hyde, Peg, Mitch, Rick, Liz, Mom, Pop, William Tell, Danny O’Dare, Long-Leg Lou, Short-Leg Sue, Mari-Lou. That is all I can tell you for right now. So if you want to hear more about the charters read Falling Up. They do funny things. My favorite character is Hannah Hyde. When I started reading the book Falling Up you might say that I was hooked. I think that is because the first poem I read out of the book was short but very interesting. the poem is Falling Up. I liked it because Shel Silverstein made it seem like the charters were real. That is just my opinion. Anyway I really think that Falling Up is a great book for a project or just to enjoy. So if you enjoy reading poem books, Falling Up is the right book for you. You will have a good time reading it.
