A Giraffe and A Half

This book was publisher in the same year that the famous, The Giving Tree, book was published. It has the same cute and funny characteristics! The book is about a boy and his giraffe and has some great rhyming. The story is easy to read and children may even memorize it after reading the book a few times.

  2. I know when I think of children's poetry the first poet I think of is Shel Silverstein. What a great poet! Do you have a favorite individual poem by him?
