Combining Poetry and Nature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a beautifully illustrated book that teaches young children about nature through poetry. We had the feeling on every page as if we had entered the world where nature's creatures live. The beautiful and colorful illustrations really enhance the poetry, give the creatures life and spark the reader's imagination. I highly recommend this book for children (and adults) of all ages!
