Childhood Reflections in Poetry: With Activities (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781452524597)

These poems focus on the important parts of a child's life, especially those of their formative years when their perceptions of life are determined by the love, caring, understanding, and nurture afforded to them by adults such as parents, grandparents, teachers, and caretakers whom they trust and love. The poems look at life through the innocent but watchful eyes of a child, and herein lie their value for adults as well. Adults may enjoy reading the poems, as they will see the world created by the poems through the eyes of a child.

The activities enhance a child's experience and interaction with every poem, and broaden the scope for understanding and learning. The activities focus on reading, language, social sciences, nature, welfare, art, and sports as well as supported and independent research.
