SING A SONG OF SEASONS

SING A SONG OF SEASONS by Frann Preston-Gannon. Illustrated by Fiona Waters

My Easter basket wasn't made up of the traditional candies this year (although I do admit a love for Robin's Eggs- those delicious chocolate malt balls with the colored crunchy shells!). Instead I had a beautiful bouquet of flowers and imagine this - two new books! One I'll share about today!

If you struggle with finding great poetry books to share with your kids, Sing a Song of Seasons: A Nature Poem for Each Day of the Year selected by Fiona Waters is an absolute winner! This anthology is not a small book. With 319 pages, you and your children will experience all different types of poetry from many different poets. Great names like Shakespeare, Robert Louis Stevenson, Christina Rossetti, Beatrix Potter, Margaret Wise Brown are mixed with many names I wasn't as familiar with.

An additional bonus is Frann Preston-Gannon's beautiful artwork throughout this book. Flipping through the pages and looking at the pictures is as much a treat as the poetry! This book is truly a worthy "coffee table" book for kids.

ALONGSIDE ACTIVITIES-

- For the month of April put a poem in your day for your kids! Start the day off with one or share one around the supper table.
