Like a Richard Scarry word book...but poems!
Perfect for fans of A Hole Is to Dig by Ruth Krauss and Maurice Sendak, here is a cozy yet witty collection of short poems about everyday objects that will inspire a love of language in readers ages 3-7.
In this inventive collection of poems, author Irene Latham invites readers to take off their shoes and wander around a wide variety of houses, meeting everyday objects with newfound wonder. These short, thoughtful poems are wordspinners—a new poetry form invented by the author that delightfully defines a word by spinning together its sound and function.
"The bite-sized poems... work well for reading aloud to young listeners, especially those that focus on sounds." - Horn Book
"This cozy collection of 66 short poems celebrates all things 'home'...with a clever poetic form called a Wordspinner." - School Library Journal
