One can attempt to define poetry by saying that it is a specific genre of literature. You can recognize poetry by its appearance since it is written in verses instead of prose. The verses give poetic literature a sound of musicality and rhythm. Poetry often includes rhymes and stylistic devices.

For this book, I could not find a professional review. This is why I picked this review of a mother that included the comments of her children. I think this is very helpful as well since children are the ones that need to like the book.
