For your child. But where to start?</p>\n<p><em><strong>Poems Every Child Should Know</strong>&nbsp;</em>is here to help.</p>\n<p>Selected and accompanied by commentary from bestselling author and literature professor Joseph Pearce, this exciting collection of verse contains classic poems that every child should know to begin a poetic ascent towards God. Not only that, but these poems are chosen so as to help all \"become as little children,\" and are ones everyone should know, regardless of age. These timeless treasures form a foundation upon which to build poetic knowledge and to see the world through the eyes of a poet, the way God intended it.</p>\n<p>Culled from the rich history of English&nbsp;poetry, these gems of the English language&rsquo;s inheritance are meant to enrich our children&rsquo;s cultural treasure chest. Verse, like virtue, is often most beautiful when it is most simple. A good beginning makes a good end all the more likely, so immersing children in beautiful words&mdash;words which so powerfully and continually shape our world, our thoughts, our prayers&mdash;and teaching them to take a minute and stop to observe a beautiful sentence is of the utmost importance. Appreciating beauty in even the most ordinary of life&rsquo;s moments is a lesson that will prepare their minds to receive Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Himself.</p>\n<p>Throughout the book, readers will find &ldquo;things to think about,&rdquo; inviting them to engage more deeply with individual&nbsp;poems. These should be seen as an invitation to an adventure into unknown territory, an opportunity to go further up and further in. Be fearless, be adventurous, and enjoy this journey into the realm of the good, the true, and the beautiful of our English language.</p>","tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$17.97","value":17.97,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax","sale_price_without_tax":{"formatted":"$17.97","value":17.97,"currency":"USD"},"non_sale_price_without_tax":{"formatted":"$29.95","value":29.95,"currency":"USD"},"rrp_without_tax":{"formatted":"$29.95","value":29.95,"currency":"USD"},"saved":{"formatted":"$11.98","value":11.98,"currency":"USD"}},"height":"8.50","detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"Poems

Poetry is meant for everyone.

For you. For your child. But where to start?

Poems Every Child Should Know is here to help.

Selected and accompanied by commentary from bestselling author and literature professor Joseph Pearce, this exciting collection of verse contains classic poems that every child should know to begin a poetic ascent towards God. Not only that, but these poems are chosen so as to help all "become as little children," and are ones everyone should know, regardless of age. These timeless treasures form a foundation upon which to build poetic knowledge and to see the world through the eyes of a poet, the way God intended it.

Culled from the rich history of English poetry, these gems of the English language’s inheritance are meant to enrich our children’s cultural treasure chest. Verse, like virtue, is often most beautiful when it is most simple. A good beginning makes a good end all the more likely, so immersing children in beautiful words—words which so powerfully and continually shape our world, our thoughts, our prayers—and teaching them to take a minute and stop to observe a beautiful sentence is of the utmost importance. Appreciating beauty in even the most ordinary of life’s moments is a lesson that will prepare their minds to receive Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Himself.

Throughout the book, readers will find “things to think about,” inviting them to engage more deeply with individual poems. These should be seen as an invitation to an adventure into unknown territory, an opportunity to go further up and further in. Be fearless, be adventurous, and enjoy this journey into the realm of the good, the true, and the beautiful of our English language.
