Honey I Love and Other Love Poems (Reading Rainbow)
"Love don't mean all that kissing
Like on television
Love Means Daddy
Saying keep your mama company
till I get back
And me doing it"
Sixteen poems tell of love and the simple joys of everyday life, seen through the eyes of a child: playing with a friend, skipping rope, riding on a train -- or keeping Mama company till Daddy gets back.
Each of these sixteen "love poems" is spoken straight from the heart of a child. Riding on a train, listening to music, playing with a friend... each poem elicits a new appreciation of the rich content of everyday life. And each poem is accompanied by a beautiful drawing, both portrait and panorama, that deepens the insights contained in the singing words.
For the first time, Eloise Greenfield and Diane and Leo Dillon have combined their rich talents to bring children a book that shows them the joys that come from seeing with a poet's eyes -- the eyes of love.
Target age group 4-8
