RHYME, RHYME, ONE MORE TIME: 175 Very Short! Very Fun! Poems is guaranteed to contain exactly what its cover promises.
As a child I would join my friends in chanting, "Car, car, C, A, R! Stick your head in a jelly jar!" at all the vehicles that dared to motor down Marshall Place and interrupt our street games. As an adult, I've used this same simple rhyming structure to create 175 original poems.
Some are joyful, some are poignant, some are downright silly. All are designed to bring smiles to young readers, and to do the same for young listeners during laptime or bedtime.
This 8.5" x 11" softbound book has 38 pages of Very Short! Very Fun! poems. Each poem is fully illustrated in colored inks and wash. Grades: Pre-K to 5. Price $10 plus $3 shipping. Ask about seasonal and quantity discounts. Sandraugriffin@gmail.com

First published in 1989 by Walker & Co., EARTH CIRCLES went out of print last year (2019).
