A lovely lullaby. This collection of simple poems is about being kind, solving problems, learning from mistakes, telling the truth, and more. A companion guide provides activities to introduce self-esteem and empowerment for young children. Every lesson includes one or two activities lasting fifteen to twenty minutes. A variety of learning styles and modes are accommodated.
Illustrations nicely complement the lightness of the text.
This compilation of poems lightheartedly touches on the issues commonly faced by children, such as not wanting to wear glasses, being rotund, practicing the piano, and playing on the playground. The poems will warm the hearts of readers as they relate to the subjects and see the photographs. This book introduces children to the lost art of play rhymes. Twenty-one are collected here, including old favorites such as Hot Cross Buns, Mary Meek, Jelly in the Dish, and Row, Row, Row Your Boat. Children and parents alike will want to chant these rhymes while bouncing a ball, jumping rope, or just sitting together.
