Books with title Poems Children Will Sit Still For

When a favorite aunt is reading to her favorite nephew (and she has her arm around him) she can read Shakespeare's sonnets or Milton's epic verse or T.S. Eliot's "Wasteland" and still hold-if not the child's attention, at least the child himself. In the classroom, as every teacher knows, it's different. Each of the 106 poems in this book was chosen with this difference in mind. They were chosen expressly for a teacher to read aloud to-and with-her class. Every selection invites the listeners' participation-vocal, physical, or emotional.

I believe Jesus Christ, My Lord and Savior, put it in my heart to write these poems and have them published.“The Purring Kitty” poem is about our family cat, Zarlakit, even though she is a full-grown cat now. I have always had cats when I was growing up, but I never had a cat that purred all the time. Sometimes she purrs very loudly. God brought her into our life and we enjoy her company each and every day.I hope my young readers and their families will find these poems both enjoyable and inspirational.To God Be The Glory.

This poem book is easy and fun to read with flowing words, depicting bright pictures of farm animals. An acquaintance with simple country living was Elsie M. Johnston s inspiration for The Farm Mouse, a poem about a mouse who sleeps while the people work and play, until the day is done and then he creeps out of the hay. The mouse looks through the barn yard for food, until the sun begins to rise, then he is gone again, to hide beneath the haystack to await another night. The poem Be a friend was inspired by seeing the need for teaching children more kindness for each other. The illustrations show farm animals, including a turtle, being nice and helpful to each other, by helping to reach an apple, giving companionship and by trying to make others smile. Such treatment may seem to be only a little effort, but helps to greatly improve the days of others.
