March 7, 2010 -- From CJ Heck, a reader, from USA, who is affiliated with the site.
Back in 1995, Barbara reviewed this website for children. It was a very favorable review and much has changed since then. The author, CJ Heck, has completely redesigned her old website. It is now 3D Flash Design and CJ reads some of her poetry for children and even sings one of her poetry songs. There are silly poems for children to finish, preschool through high school poems which are read by the author, lots of tongue twisters, quotations, essays, and school visit/contact information to invite CJ to your school, even an online store. She now has three books available and will soon have the books on CD as well. Please check it out. You won't be disappointed!
October 17, 2009 -- From Yolee, a teacher from Virginia, who is affiliated with the site.
Bugnmymug is a great poetry website for children, parents and educators. It is a poetry playhouse where children can read rhyming and silly poetry. There is audio included on the site with various character voices for children to read along to or simply listen to and be greatly amused.
Bugnmymug was created by a parent and and an educator to encourage children to read and inspire them to write. The vision of the website is for parents and educators to use the material at no cost to educate children in a creative way.
Poetry is a another avenue for kids to begin the thinking and writing process. Included on the website are two resources for parents and educators to generate ideas for reading and writing their own poetry.
Be Encouraged, Be inspired and Write On!

Come read the poem of the Teapot Dragon with it's crinkly tail and pincer claws. It sticks out it's tongue and keeps the tea piping hot.
The Teapot Dragon is a poem that takes a child from reality to imagination. Start with The Teapot Dragon poem and explore imagery through words. Pour the tea into the Dragon's Teapot and write some dragon poetry.
