Product Description: "Poetry Speaks to Children" reaches into the world of poetry and pulls out the elements children love: rhyme, rhythm, fun and, every once in a while, a little mischief. Illustrated in colour throughout, "Poetry Speaks to Children" is designed for children of ages six to eleven. Featuring more than 100 poems - 50 of them brought to life on CD - ranging from Gwendolyn Brooks to Ogden Nash, Shel Silverstein and Roald Dahl to J.R.R. Tolkien, the book and CD will allow children (and parents!) to read and listen simultaneously. Consisting of entertaining poems written by well-known artists, this book and accompanying audio CD will present poetry to children, using their natural curiosity and sense of fun to reveal the joy and stimulation made possible through poetry. The book and CD will be arranged so that children can read and listen simultaneously. The poems with audio will be interspersed throughout the book. By linking enjoyable and meaningful interaction with words in the poetic form, this book and audio CD will be a child's first real introduction to the energizing experience of poetry.
