One of my mother's favourite childhood books (she was born in 1932). ( )

My husband and I picked this sweet little book up in a batch of books at an estate auction. We quickly fell in love with it. The book is meant for children, so before each poem, she give you some ideas to be thinking about while reading the poem. I would highly recommend this book to any one just being introduced to poetry. ( )

My sister won this book at our school book fair in elementary school for a story she had written. During the summer while swimming in the Chesapeake Bay my aunt had a crab on the end of her foot hanging on to her tennis shoes. The librarian, Mrs. Francis covered a penny with aluminum foil and gave it to her along with the book. The book became a favorite poetry book for the family. Later, when I was teaching third grade I purchased a used copy to use in my classroom. ( )
