Thanks for the lovely post, MOlly. I will have to check out the 100 Poetry book. We really enjoy poetry around here….and we are loving the catechism cd’s that you recommended a while back. The little ones especially, come running when they start to hear the first song!

I really enjoyed reading your post for the carnival. I think the effort we put into sharing these worthwhile authors with our children is so worth it.

Thanks for sharing your resources.

We love Milne, and have been known to quote a line or two around here as well. We’re loving what we’ve done with Shakespeare so far, too.

Hi Molly,

We're using Andrew Pudewa's Poetry Memorization program for the second year now, and I absolutely love it! I just wish I had been able to start it sooner, but even with my boys' ages (15 and 16) they are benefiting SO MUCH from our daily poetry memorization. The current poem we're working on is "The Childrens Hour" by Longfellow - read it, and you'll see why I think it's absolutely wonderful for these future fathers to have this poem embedded in their minds!

poet pooh shake dick

I am hoping to acquire a larger compilation of poetry. That is on my mental wish list. This year we read Dover's Favorite Poems of Childhood, and each child had their own favorite.

We like Pooh too; I have read those to the children. The children will be introduced to Shakespeare next year. He is an old friend.

As for Mr. Dickens, he is on my present reading list as I gear up for Masterpiece Theatre Classic's season of Dickens, which will start soon. Right now I am reading "Little Dorrit" and recently finished "The Old Curiosity Shop".

Poetry is something that I completely neglect. When I have more time, I am going to revisit this post and look at the linked items.
Shared on LPP at hs meeting tonight. I could tell several were very interested.
