Notes
Children love and respond to poetry, delighting in its rhythm and rhyme. In this book there are poems about the seasons and special days, poems about favourite animals such as bugs, bears and penguins, and poems that center around tried-and-true primary-grade themes such as friendship, weather, colours and plants.Contents
