Children's Bedtime Poems
Selected by katiez
Description

This is a collection of classic poems for children to read before bed. They all encourage the imagination through their whimsical imagery and strong use of feeling. I still have strong memories of reading several of these poems before bed when i was little. They are enjoyable for both young and old and are the perfect bridge into dreamland.
