Poems and Rhymes for Special Times with Children

Come along and play with me.I wonder who we'll chance to see. (I think I spy a rabbit.)Hip hop, the rabbit hops Lightly o'er the clover tops.Springing down the garden trail,Flashing white his fluffy tail,Hip hop, the rabbit hops.Come along and play with me. I wonder who we'll chance to see. (I think I spy a mouse.)Tiptoe, the mouse will go Softly through the meadow so. From fairies and elves to snowflakes and snails, Poems and Rhymes for Special Times with Children is a collection of seasonal verses and playful rhymes for a parent or teacher to share with children ages four to eight. The poems celebrate connection to nature and the seasons as well as imagination and fun, and can be brought into movement in circle time, or accompany other learning and creative activities both at home and at school. Suggestions for how the verses can be used and enjoyed are provided throughout the book, with sections at the end on the importance of poetry for children and notes for teachers.
