Introduce Your Child to Good Poetry

After years of reading sing-song, and sometimes trite children's poetry to my two children, Henderson's "In the Middle of the Night" was a wonderful surprise. Her poetry is not sing-song, and yet her eloquent verse sings a lullabye that has charmed both the children and the adults in my house. Henderson's observations are at once concise and beautiful, creating a glimpse into the nightlife of office cleaners, bakers, and parents (to name a few) whose reality is powerful. Anyone who wishes to introduce thier children to truly good poetry should give this book a try.
