Great Easy Reader Poem

My 5 year old daughter reads this poetry book over and over, and although the poems were simple and appealing, many of them used literary devices such as similes, metaphors, and personification that I was able to introduce to her.

Great book

I bought this little collection of poems for next year when my oldest son will be in Grade 2. The poems are so simple and sweet, some funny and all with really cute illustrations. A great way to introduce poetry to young children!
