This week we memorized the following poem from The Tree that Time Built
: A Celebration of nature, science, and imagination.
: A Celebration of nature, science, and imagination.Snail by John Drinkwater
Snail upon the wall,
Have you got at all
Anything to tell
About your shell?
Only this, my child--
When the wind is wild,
Or when the sun is hot,
It's all I've got.
Cute, huh? The Tree that Time Built reminds us that the earth is a wondrous place that needs to be taken care of. It is filled with poems, both classic and new, that inspire a love of nature. The book comes with a CD so you can listen to some of the poets perform their works. The CD also gives some background info to the poems and the science behind them.
