This delightful, interactive journey through the history of the world#39;s poetry#160;includes a removable poster and access to downloadable audio, allowing kids to listen and learn as they experience the magic of the spoken word. Poetry is funmdash;especially when we can read it, hear it, and discover its many delights. A Child#39;s Introduction to Poetry joyously introduces kids (and parents) to the greatest poets in historymdash;from Homer and Shakespeare to Langston Hughes and Maya Angeloumdash;and provides excellent examples of their work and commentary on what makes it so special and everlasting. The book covers every style of poem, from epics and odes, to nonsense verse and haikus, and is filled with examples of each one. This multimedia package encourages children to listen, read, and learn, and opens the door to a lifetime of appreciation of a rich literary tradition. Also included is a removable, fold-out poster of quot;Jabberwockyquot; by Lewis Carroll, one of history#39;s most iconic poems.
