Pencil's Collection
Of
Little
Rhymes for kids that
adults love
| 
|
I
present this
collection of
Little Rhymes
in the belief
that the love
of reading begins,
like most things,
as a tiny seed
of fun and joy.
Grandpa Pencils
little rhymes include
those with a message,
those just a tad
quirky and some
that are just plain
fun.
Included, along
with Grandpa's
own, are the works
of some of your
favourite writers. |
Grandpa
Pencil looks at the works
of the
Great
Poets & Playwrights
| 
|
Featuring,
along with William
Shakespeare's,
in this new section
are the selected
works of William
Blake, Alfred
Lord Tennyson,
William Wordsworth, John
Donne, Boethius, Ben
Johnson, Oliver
Goldsmith , Thomas
Gray, Andrew
Marvel, John
MIlton and William
Butler Yeats.
The pieces have
been chosen for
purely selfish
reasons: I just
happen to like
them. |
Grandpa
Pencil's Collection Of
Australian
Colonial Verse and Song
| 
|
An
extremely effective
way of looking
at a particular
period in history
is through it's
poetry, verse
and song.
This section is
just the beginning
of our collection
with much more
to follow.
The selection looks
at the victories
and defeats, the
joys and the hardships
of colonial life
and shows the result
of being in a very
strange place thousands
of miles from home. |
Daddy
Drake's
Classic
Nursery Rhymes
| 
|
Back
in the times
when the TV was
actually the
Court Jester
these rhymes
were often of
a highly political
or personal nature
and, as such,
offer a cryptic
insight into
the people and
politics of the
time.
A
wise old owl sat
in an oak,
The more he heard
the less he spoke,
The less he spoke
the more he heard.
Why aren't we like
that wise old bird.

Grandpa
Pencil finds some of
Grimm's
Fairy Tales
 |
Adult
guidance is
recommended
for younger
readers:
This month I have included the first
15 of a planned series of 60 Grimm's
Fairy Tales.
Be warned, though, they can be a tad
scary |
