4.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful introduction to Poetry for your 4-7 year old!,
By
This review is from: How Does the Wind Walk? (Library Binding)
I checked this out of the library for my almost 5 year old daughter, and we both enjoyed reading it. Basically, the book spends a few pages describing the qualities of the wind during each season. But it uses a very poetic language, full of metaphor and personification. For my daughter, it was a wonderful introduction to poetry. We would read a sentence, then talk about what it meant, and why the author chose to use the words she did rather than simply stating it in matter-of-fact terms. It lead to discussions on other ways to say things poetically. For instance, rather than simply saying she had blonde hair, we could say she "had hair of gold."
The book is just the perfect length to hold the interest of young children, and is a pleasant read for adults. The illustrations are pleasing, as well, and they very much fit the tone of the book. |
