Whimsical and Thought-provoking!
What happens when Mr. O’Leary’s animals dance in the barn? What would it be like to fly alongside a butterfly? Would you like to “Float to the Moon?” Does everyone have bad days sometimes?
Introducing poetry into a child's book collection opens a window into literature.
This whimsical and thought-provoking group of poems plays to a child's imagination. For reluctant readers, the easy rhymes can help boost confidence in reading skills. For parents, Float to the Moon and other bedtime poems will be a joy to share at bedtime with the children they love.
“Children’s responses to poetry are innate, instinctive, natural – maybe it starts in the womb, with the mother's heartbeat? Children are hard-wired to musical language – taking pleasure in the rhythm, rhyme, repetition and other patternings of language that are a marked feature of childhood.” – Morag Styles
Available in English and dual-language English/Spanish.
