Sweet Feet Julie Krantz

What could be sweeter than sharing quiet time with your very own little person? That's just what award-winning children's author, Julie Krantz, invites you to do in this new collection of 'Love Poems for Little Peeps' from purple pie press. Comprised of seventeen charming poems and illustrations, SWEET FEET introduces children to the magic of rhythm, meter, diction and rhyme while entertaining them with fresh images and ideas about love--love of family, friends, nature, and self. Following the tradition of great children's poets--from Robert Louis Stevenson to AA Milne--Sweet Feet will appeal to lovers of contemporary practitioners Joyce Sidman, Jane Yolen, Alice Shertle, Lee Wardlaw and others. Addressing a host of subjects from feet to flowers and sunrise to snowflakes, children will be delighted with Ms. Krantz's unique take on the many familiar images and ideas of their burgeoning worlds. Exploring and understanding these subjects with the people closest to them is just one of the ways in which children will experience the joy of poetry. Mother, teacher, artist and writer, Ms. Krantz's poems and illustrations will appeal as much to parents and grandparents as to children themselves. Opportunities for interactive teaching abound in this volume of Ms. Krantz's work as well as in her many other titles published by purple pie press...
