My Shadow Children , C. When I was a very little boy, I used to stay round my Nana's house fairly regularly. Every time I did, she would tuck me up in bed and sing this poem to me in her beautiful, soothing voice Most every night when they're in bed, And both their little prayers have said, They shout for me to come upstairs And tell them tales of gypsies bold,. What a delight to picture the scene this poem frames. A family whose children are cherished and parents mature in their love. Thank you for posting. This poem has reminded me about the wolf in sheep's skin.

Poetry For Kids

It's a great way to teach our children to think about the intentions of others even though they can be nice. The mountain and the squirrel Had a quarrel, And the former called the latter "Little prig. I do not remember how I came across this poem, but ever since I knew it, it has been my favorite. A little squirrel standing up for itself against the mighty mountain and putting it in place The other night 'bout two o'clock, or maybe it was three, An elephant with shining tusks came chasing after me.

His trunk was wavin' in the air an' spoutin' jets of steam An' he was out to eat me up, but still I didn't scream.

Of course the older kids get, the more they can handle. And of course every kid is different and matures at a different pace.

I know I need to catch up on building a platform. I agree with you about The Raven. I would not include it either … not even for middle grade children, with few exceptions.

The rest of the list is stellar. This is all in few words, of course, and is very hard to pull off. I know this one: Sasha, my boys all love The Raven. They grasp it easily enough, and I think the rhyme keeps them involved. You must be logged in to post a comment. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
