Wonderful Words

is a simple celebration of words - words about you and me, words about family and friends, words about events and experiences, and words that explain elements of language and how we communicate with one another. Words can make us laugh and cry and can make us think. They can also inspire and teach us. The poems and rhymes in this book are designed to help children - and all those of us who are kids at heart - celebrate, remember, anticipate, think, reach out, and learn. I hope they do just that for you.
