Children are avid listeners, and begin testing and playing with sounds at a very early age. Poetry can be a very effective medium when linked to things that fascinate children. Simply Poetry! Shows, in a collection of original poems written specifically for young children, how the rhythms and rhymes of poetry can inspire fun and laughter, as well as encourage language development. Poetry also encourages the use of expressions, gestures and movement. Simply Poetry! provides the perfect opportunity for children and adults to share communication time. Beautiful illustrations are provided to assist with the presentation of each poem and stimulate the listeners imagination. This book includes something for everyone, from early childhood educators (whether beginners or those with more experience) to parents, grandparents and other family members, in fact, to anyone looking for new ways to extend the learning environment for children.
