I loved poetry as a child! Hope my children learn to enjoy it too. There is a particular poem we had to read I think when I was around 6 or 7 years old. We had to then write it out in our best hand writing and then decorate with pictures (A fun activity on a rainy day? – Read your child’s favourite poem or book then they can draw pictures about it?)

What was your favourite childhood poem? Here’s mine below: 

The Guppy by Ogden Nash

Whales have calves,
Cats have kittens,
Bears have cubs,
Bats have bittens,
Swans have cygnets,
Seals have puppies,
But guppies just have little guppies.
