Loading... Poetry for Young People: Edward Learby Edward Lear
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() From the popular 'Owl And the Pussy-Cat' to the lesser known 'Mr. and Mrs. Spikky Sparrow', to the famous limericks, Edward Lear's poetry collection is a classic. These poems are fun for youngsters to listen to, as well as fun for older kids and adults to read out loud. There are many new vocabulary words, for which this edition so thoughtfully provides definitions. One of my favorites is 'The Dong with a Luminous Nose' who wanders along through the darkness, lighting up his way. He falls in love with a Jumbly Girl (from the poem about the Jumblies who brave the sea in a sieve) and his heart breaks when they sail away. no reviews | add a review
