MY BOOK OF VERSE

What happens when a chicken borrows your shoe? Can a snail send a letter? And what on earth happens when a Christmas tree sneezes?

My Book of Verse: Poems for Young Readers is a lively collection of children's poetry filled with curious creatures, funny mishaps, familiar faces, and little wonders.

Meet a crocodile riding the subway, a proud peacock, a pigeon who loves to fly, and a dog with somewhat of a rather unfortunate appetite for homework. Discover the adventures of a brave little button, look up at the smiling sun and the mysterious moon, and join in the excitement of Christmas, Easter, Diwali, Hanukkah, and other special occasions.

But not every poem is about mischief. There are some quieter poems, too: the comfort of a mother's care, the joy of playing with Dad, and the small, everyday experiences that make childhood memorable.

Written in accessible, playful verse, this collection invites children to laugh, imagine, ask questions, and discover the pleasure of poetry. Whether read aloud at bedtime, shared in a classroom, or explored independently by a budding reader, there's always another poem waiting on the next page.

A book to open anywhere, read together, and return to again and again.
