I wonder: A book for
children, parents and other grownups by Jane Altman is book of poetry and a
short story for children and adults.
Part 1 is for the children and it’s a series of poems which
start with “I wonder…” and introduce a different animal. Bat, frog and
alligator are among the many animals talked about in the poems. Each poem
begins and ends with an “I wonder” statement. Then a short story about glowing
stones. A boy and a girl leave their small village and pass a castle where they
find a stone which glows in their favorite color. They pick up the stone and
save it. Many years pass, the boy and girl grow up and have families of their
own. After they have passed away, their families find a strange gray stone
among their belongings and return it to the castle when the children see the
glowing stones with the adults do not. Part 2 is for the parents and other
grownups and is a series of poems along the same themes as part 1.
I wonder is a
great book of poetry with simple rhymes that children will love. I enjoy poems
and I love book which introduce poetry to children in a fun way. With beautiful
illustrations, the poems and story come alive on the page. I recommend this
book for any family and classroom library. It helps children enter the world of
poetry in a fun and exciting way.
