Children s Poetry
The book begins with an introduction outlining the importance of poetry,
and defining it. It discusses poetry in terms of children's learning
and the imagination. Case studies are used to show how children learn
about themselves - first, their bodies, and second, their thoughts and
emotions - through the writing of poetry. Using many examples of
childrens work he considers how children learn about their environment
and the relationship between themselves and their environment. Finally,
he discusses his techniques for getting children to write and provides
recommendations for further reading.
