I’m trying to broaden my horizons and poetry is honestly not usually something I would pick up, however I loved this! Cute, whimsical poems/verses that made me smile 😁
Favourites were an april morning, The balloon man, in grandmas attic and there’s only one you.
Nice little collection 😍

For young readers.
I think this is a nice introduction to prose & poetry for children/young readers. My favorite section was the "wonder" & "whimsy" sections because it felt the most magical. It is pretty think and could take a younger reader a while to get through but there are tons of cute poems that are nice for any age.
*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review*.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchanIge for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
This is an adorable collection of poetry and rhymes for children written by many different authors and poets (with information about each one at the back of the book) and written from the view point of a child.
The poems and rhymes in this book consist of many different topics - nature, seasons, weather, life etc.
I enjoyed this book and would love to share it with my daughter as she gets older.
