Customer Reviews

The kind of language that speaks to children...

I have found that most children love repetition and poetry in their stories. This is a book that most children will love. It has beautiful language that is not above even a young child's level. It flows very well, and my daughter at 21 months enjoys the rhymes in it.

Great Poetry Book

Great book- I purchased this for use in homeschooling for an activity- We lit candles and had Daddy read the poems about light/fire/etc. Fun to look at- the poems are in different shapes- and excellent way to end a study on fire and light on a "lite" note (no pun intended).

Poems and other shapes

This is a delightful collection of shaped poems all dealing with the theme of light. Candles, lightbulbs and lightening are just a few of the shapes used with wonderful words and images to create poems for children, parents and grandparents. A great book to read by candlelight.
