Dr. Seuss and Shel SilversteinChild Verse, Dr. Seuss, and Shel Silverstein Remembered
Child verse on this page were written by 30 year veteran teacher, Martha Long, a frequent contributor. She really understands the child's perspective.
Well, did our Martha ever grow up? The jury is out. She seems be right inside the minds of the wee ones. She can tell you what you can expect a three year old to understand, what scares a four year old, and mostly, how kindness and sensitivity to a small child will bring out her best.

A Four Year Old Plays Soccer
We play on a soccer team,
our shirts are red and blue.
We call the team the Flyers
and this is what we do.
The whistle blows and we all run
and parents start to call
"Defense, play your position"
but we just chase the ball.
We kick it and we chase it,by Martha Long
we kick each other too
and at the end, when asked the score
We haven't got a clue.
When you are only four years old
You'd rather climb a tree
but parents think someday they'll make
a Soccer star of me !
Coloring Books
I can really color good
and stay inside the lines.
But somehow when I finish
I I don't feel like it's mine.
A grown up drew the picturesby Martha Long
and I filled them in just fine,
But I'd rather have a blank page
and make my own designs.
