Lois Letchford reads Jack Polutsky's poem about Bellow the ogre, a monster who rumbles and eats goblins, trolls, wizards, and a giant. The rhythmic, alliterative piece brings the whimsical character to life through performance.
Hello, I'm Lois Letchford, reading this week from— about dragons. I'm a literacy problem solver and the author of the book Reversed: A Memoir. Reading from Monday's Troll by Jack Polutsky. Bellow. I'm Bellow, the ogre. I rumble and rave. I'm craggy, volcanic. My mouth is a cave. I grumble and thunder and yammer and frit. I gobbled a goblin. My stomach's upset. I'm Bellow the Ogre. I bluster and boast. I roasted a troll. He was perfect on toast. My manners are grisly. My temper is hot. I nibbled a wizard. My head hurts a lot. I'm Bellow the Ogre. I smoulder and moan. I carry a cudgel of dragon tailbone. I swallowed a giant, he went down like lead. Bellow the ogre is going to bed. Enjoy. Look at the words that the author has used in this book. Enjoy them. Use them again and again. Hit like, hit subscribe, and hit the bell for notifications. Thank you. I'm Lois Letchford, author of the book Reverser Memoir, and grab a copy.
