A friend gave my Granddaughter this book and she loves reading it before she goes to sleep. The subjects and length of the individual poems in the book motivates her reading. Her experimentation reading of these poems have aided her understanding and pronounciation of words in a fun way.
Any written word that engages a child’s imagination is wonderful. Poetry is on another level and fun and laughter when reading a poem is held in the memory as a memorable experience. Sometimes it touches a place that books cannot.
Super variety of poems that will be enjoyed by all. Moments of laughter and empathy. Perfect addition to our school library collection.
