Guest Post - Adventures in Reading

My daughter Emmy

 This poem was written by my 11 year old daughter Emmy today...not for any homework assignment but just for fun.  She has graciously agreed to let me share it with everyone here.

Love of Books by Jiri Hodan

I can sail the seas with James

All on a giant peach.

I can ride the train with Harry

To find the magic within my reach.

I can solve a mystery with Sherlock

Or maybe Nancy Drew.

I can eat green eggs and ham with Sam,

Help Horton hear a who.

I can go coon hunting

With Old Dan and Little Ann.

I can go through the looking glass with Alice

Into a wonderland.

I can go to Oz with Dorothy

And get the Wicked Witch’s broom.

All of these adventures in reading

Done from the comfort of my room.
