8 Must-have vibrant children’s poetry books

Blurb:

Do we need more books of rhymes? Yes indeed, why not? Children love new words and new ideas. They love nature – the big bright sun, the silver moon, the swaying trees, the falling rain, the flowing river and the moving clouds. They interact with people every day – the family, the teachers, the milkman, the baker, the grocer and so on. They have fun learning new things in school – A-B-C and 1-2-3 and the names of the pretty colours all around them. Everything is exciting; the slide and the swing in the park; the cuddly toys at home and in the shop window, the moving train and so on…. They also love stories, especially fairy tales and fables and legends. Rhyme Time deals with all these topics and more!

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Tan, sienna, topaz, or tamarind? Poet Malathi Michelle Iyengar sees a whole spectrum of beautiful shades of brown. Swirls of henna decorate ocher hands and feet at an Indian wedding. Cinnamon lips smile over a cup of cafe con leche. And maple leaves drift like stars onto upturned russet faces in fall.

This warm and inviting children’s poetry collection helps young readers discover that no matter what your skin tone, every shade is beautiful. Jamel Akib’s pastel illustrations bring the richness of brown to vivid, varied life.

Generally when we think of a zoo, we picture animals in large enclosures that can be viewed by paying a certain fee. We conjure up images of elephants, tigers and lions all of whom are supposedly forced to stay within a particular cage with others of their kind. However, did you ever imagine that your house, the very room you sleep in or watch T. V. in or dine in could also be a zoo?

This idea is what has been built upon by authors, Katie Bagli and Medha S. Rajyadhyaksha in their book ‘The Zoo Around You’. Through a plethora of cheery poems they have attempted to give readers a sneak peek into the minds of young readers and their perception of the world around them. Young children generally have a lot of scope for imagination and most often it is poetry that fulfills their curiosity and gives them a medium for creativity. This children’s poetry book attempts to enthrall both kids and adults by opening up a new avenue to how we view insects, birds and animals around us
