    language (, Sept. 10, 2014)
    These simple bits of verse examine child-related themes, wrapping them with stanzas baring rhyme and meter schemes. And each one has discussion questions (you may just ignore, if learning what your children think is something you abhor). So try them out some bedtime when you've nothing else to do. 'Cause if these lines appeal at all, the poems just might too.
