Poetry (Not-Just) for Preschoolers



"Truck Song"
Diane Siebert

LOVE this one.  Bright, colorful illustrations; simple rhyming text that is fun and engaging for both reader and child.  Siebert has a lovely ear for rhythm in her lines, a nice bonus for anyone who likes poetry.





"Sparkle and Spin"
Paul and Ann Rand

Did some light research and turns out Paul Rand is someone others may have heard of :), but this is the only work of his I am familiar with.  It's enough to make me a big fan!  This book is a treasure for any lover of poetry and art, and is a perfect example of how a book can truly be for all ages.  We will keep this on our permanent shelf.
