One of my favorites....

Friday morning!  How welcome this day was for both students and teachers alike!:-)  I hope your week has gone well and that you have some plans for the days ahead that will be fun.

One of my favorite poets is Robert Frost.  That is why it was so exciting to me when I found this book available.

Several of you may have been doing this!

 This is probably one of Robert Frost's most well-known poems.  Written in book form, the illustrations by Susan Jeffers are an excellent addition.

I love the owl!


And the woodland creatures move aside for the visitor to their woods!

Books such as this are excellent for introducing poetry to children. 

And now - announcing the winner of the giveaway!  Dawn Wiencke, it is you!  Please contact me via email with your address, and I will have that snowflake cookie cutter on its way to you!  Thank you to all of you who commented.  I'm sure there will be other giveaway occasions.

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

  7. Hi Nellie- That book looks fantastic. Wish I had had that when I was still homeschooling :)
    What grade did you teach? I'm assuming elementary . . . ? Teachers amaze me. For myself, I CANNOT handle more than two at a time. Just not how I was made!

  8. What a lovely book! Frost is one of my favorite poets, and that's one of my favorite poems. (It used to be my favorite Frost poem until I heard him recite "The Gift Outright" at JFK's inauguration. Sheer magic!)
