New York Times Bestseller

Poetry-Speaks

It's a fun book, the perfect holiday gift and I'm giving copies to my grandchildren and buying an extra copy for myself, too.
 
The book also comes with a CD, with poems read by the poets. If you'd like to listen to some of the poems, go to:

Then click on Take a Peek Inside the Book, (turn on your computer speakers) and listen to Mary Ann Hoberman read her poem Brother and Odgen Nash tell of The Adventures of Isabel.

I have 5 copies of Poetry Speaks to Children to give away to readers. My favorite "new" poem in the book was Why? written by poet James Stevenson. It even inspired me to jump into a box of jelly doughnuts. And my favorite "old" poem—I used to read it all the time when I was a kid—is Daddy Fell INTO the Pond written by poet Alfred Noyes. 

Read the poems, enter the drawing and see my own jelly doughnut experience. CLICK HERE
