Star Pictures: Tricky Words That Rhyme

Read a night-sky poem and listen for tricky words that rhyme.

Read the poem

Read the poem out loud. Each numbered part of the poem is called a stanza.

Star Pictures

1When supper was over and chores were done,
We waved goodbye to the setting sun.
I climbed the hill with Grandma Bea
To look for stars that we could see.

2"Who, who!" called out a hidden bird.
It was the only sound we heard.
I looked up with a wide-open eye.
So many stars were in the sky!

3Grandma whispered, "Look, my friend,
Seven stars from end to end!"
"They make a giant spoon!" I said.
It sparkled high above my head.

4Grandma said, "People long ago looked up, too,
And made star pictures all night through.
Your spoon is part of a great big bear.
Can you find his head up there?"

5At last I yawned, so we turned to come
Back down the hill. I began to hum.
The night was dark and cool, although
The stars above us seemed to glow.

Where did Grandma Bea and the child in the poem go to look at the stars?
