Children love poetry. They enjoy hearing the rhythm of the words and the rhyming sounds.There are many important moments in the child's life that can be captured. Do you remember having your first loose tooth, riding your bike successfully for the first time, or wondering how socks disappear in the laundry? Did you ever have to get braces on your teeth, wonder why freckles appeared on your nose, or wonder why you could always eat ice cream for dessert when you felt too full to finish your vegetables? Have you ever wondered why tears form, why fleas itch, or why we get tired every night? Do you wonder how we catch colds, why tides keep hitting the shore, or how we grow old? I've wondered about these things too.Childhood is a time of wonder. These poems explore the wonderment of children.
