[quote=Anonymous]Pp from 15:24. I forgot to mention a few other favorites:

Poetry Speaks to Children: this includes some  more traditional poems that my kids don’t like but they’re fond of others (admittedly, this is my favorite more than theirs so we “trade” and each person gets to pick). There’s a similar hip pop speaks to children book that looks good too but I haven’t been able to find a copy

I’m just no good at rhyming by Chris Harris: I find this one (and the sequel) annoying but my kids love it. There’s a great audiobook version on Hoopla or Libby if you don’t want to have to read it yourself.

Ogden Nash: my mom loved his poems and has been reading them to my kids since they were little (oldest is 10). I think they’re weird or hard to understand but my kids find some of them hilarious.

Additional context: my mom loved poetry and read it to me all of her life. She died last year and so I read poems to my kids as a way to remember her. Just explaining so you don’t think this is a tiger-parent thing:)
