Merry Christmas everyone!
Just wanted to share an excellent open source book ( it is copyright free, as it is from the last century
) and it has wonderful collection of classical poems that are great for children.
Poetry is so important in developing child's sense of rhytm and rhyme and beauty of the language. It can be read to babies from the very beginning, we use a lot of Christian Mother Goose Rhymes, as well as some classical works.
When I came across this book, I felt it would be great to share with others, as it is good variety and selection of some great classical poems.
Hope you enjoy them!
