Bed in Summer

Robert Louis Stevenson's classic poem about summer bedtime hours relates how children must go to bed while the sun is still up. Children love the natural music of poetry, and they're eager to learn and remember the words. Like music, poetry's rhymes and rhythms capture children's attention and inspire their imaginations. This collection brings the classic works of famed poets such as Robert Louis Stevenson and Edward Lear to the children of today. Additional features to aid comprehension include a section on the importance of rhyme and rhythm in poetry, and an introduction to the author and illustrator.
