Honey, I love and other love poems


This is the most beautiful, down-to-earth book of poems for children. Greenfield invites us into the life of a child with a rope rhyme. We experience riding on a train and keeping mom company all through the eyes of a child. There are sixteen poems that will become memorized out of love for them in your classroom. Even the illustrations are well done and provided by well known illustrators Dillon and Dillon. The children in my class love "Things." They repeat it even when we are standing in line. I used it to teach them about the rhythm in poetry.
