[.ca] All the Small Poems and Fourteen More (ISBN 0374403457)

A wonderful collection!:
This book is a great collection of poems about nature. My children love these poems, and they are great to teach with.

A delightful read!:
The late Valerie Worth is well remembered in this volume of nature poems. They are short and sweet, with neat imagery. I used this book to help my daughter, a struggling reader, to read, by reading with her, and sometimes singing the poems as though they were lyrics. Simple titles like "Pie" and "Toad" evoke a simple life...yet the poems stir the imagination, too: "The watering can rusts among friends." Mm. Natalie Babbit's line drawings complement the poems without fail.
