Poems for the Young Ones
Posted by Meta-Dad under cool schtuff , dad recomendation , family , simplify
My wife and I have got burnt-out reading narrative stories to the boys and have started to work some poetry into the mix. If you haven’t read poetry aloud recently, it’s an interesting challenge and totally enjoyable.
The Caroline Kennedy compilation is beautifully illustrated with hand-painted watercolor paintings and includes everything from e.e.cummings and Robert Frost to Shakespeare.

Being an English Major this actually sounds darn cool. Also, prolly a great way to discipline children old enough to read, have them memorize a poem or two in a timeout.
