Les Fleurs

Natalie and I have been working on the Rainbow Flower Felting Kit. To introduce this craft, I went searching for a nice flower poem. Happily, I found an entire flower and tree section in a large book of poetry: Favorite Poems Old and New selected by Helen Ferris. This book is a GREAT value and contains over 700 poems! Finding a flower poem was a snap (I picked Window Boxes by Eleanor Farjean). Categories of poems in this book are

• Myself and I


• My Family and I


• My Almanac


• It's Fun to Play


• Little Things that Creep and Crawl and Swim and Sometimes Fly


• Animal Pets and Otherwise


• On the Way to Anywhere


• From the Good Earth Growing


• Roundabout the Country, Roundabout Town


• My Brother the Sun, My Sister the Moon, the Stars, and Mother Earth


• Bird-Watcher


• People to Know, Friends to Make


• Almost Any Time Is Laughing Time


• My Fancy and I


• Sign of My Nation, Great and Strong


• From All the World to Me


• Story Time is Special Time


• From the Family Scrapbook

It is indexed by Title, by First Line, and by Author as well.
