And for "Caius" reading "The Mixed Up Files..."<BR/><BR/>Poetry. Love it. My mother used to recite poetry at the drop of a hat -- still does. So did my grade 4/5 teacher. My aunt writes reams of it.<BR/><BR/>Do you have access (possibly library?) to Canadian Children's Anthology (or a title like that, just a minute...) Correct title is Canadian Children's Annual. They're not publishing it anymore, which is really really too bad, but it had lots of contemporary Canadian poetry and stuff.<BR/><BR/>I, too, like A.A. Milne's poetry. It might be interesting to contrast his poetry with a more modern children's poet like ... um, whatshisname (I'm really a lot of help here, aren't I?????) aha! (Thanks, google...) Dennis Lee. Two of his books from the 1970s (oops, modern???) are Alligator Pie and Garbage Delight.scbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048966584552769915noreply@blogger.com
