Teachers take note: this is a fabulous second collection of poems about reading. I'm especially excited by @RachelPoet's poem, which I think is a brilliant one to share with children, to open up to them the full range of pleasures in opening a book & starting to read!

What a lovely blog by @RachelPoet for @kidspoetsummit on Christina Rossetti's poems for children! Gorgeous poems selected to talk about, and some great ideas for ones to both use with young readers and draw inspiration from if you are a writer!
