Recommended for children Newborn to 6 Months  Author Yolen, Jane Publisher Candlewick Press (ISBN: 9780763631413; Hardcover) Description This exuberant celebration of poetry is an essential book for every young one’s library and a georgeous gift to be both shared and treasured. Why raising readers Has Selected This Book We are told that there are so many ways in which poetry is good for us and for our child's developing language skills. Not always, though, are poetry collections so filled with sunshine, laughter, ice cream and bright faces as HERE'S A LITTLE POEM. The selection committee took an instant shine to these family-friendly poems and their glowing illustrations by Polly Dunbar. We hope you read aloud from this collection for years to come. Questions With thick books like this, it is sometimes intimidating to get started. But with this collection, you can open up to any page and start reading. Don't worry if the poem seems too complex for your young reader. Reading to babies is about them hearing the comforting sound of your voice. Hearing new words arranged in a poetic form only makes your voice more compelling and their small brain more engaged. So read away—you might just have fun too. |
