I'm reading poetry to Hannah this semester. I had picked up Where the Sidewalk Ends at a used bookstore but also wanted to read some "real" poetry to her as well. I was thinking Frost would be apropriate but had nothing definite in mind when I came across A Family of Poems at the bookstore. Usually I steer clear of books with celebrity names on them but this one had wonderful poems for kids that I would never have thought of. For example Ariel's Song by Shakespeare, Who Has Seen the Wind by Christina Rossetti, The Iroquois Prayer, Psalm 23:1-6, The Tyger by Blake (Princess already knows this one) and lots, lots, more! It also has wonderful pictures. They are really captivating especially for Princess. So check this collection out!

Hey Jenn!!!
Thanks so much for posting. I have been a bad blogger lately. I love that you are exposing your daughter to poetry. I have recently started re-reading a bunch of my favorites. I am glad to see you are posting more!
Thanks!I am going through some growing pains trying to figure out how to do more with it. Know any books about it?
