He loves this poem so much, he memorized it all on his own.

Oddly enough, that is the one poem my child doing Bigger decided to learn also! How funny. Wonder what it is about that poem?

Your son is adorable.

It really is a great poem with a simple rhyming pattern that he could get into.

He checked out an entire book of Longfellow poems at the library this week and has been reading them.

We are a huge poetry family. It's fun to have them assigned as part of SCHOOL! ;-)

Daisy,

That is so precious! Your son did a great job. Thanks for sharing with us! :D

My boys love poetry too, and I am so grateful that they do as I didn't study ANY in my school days. :wink:

Blessings,
Carrie
