The Hoosier poet offers a book of children’s verses, many in dialect, celebrating the wild glee of childhood. There is an impromptu fairy tale, a dream-march, Elmer Brown, playing Show for the first time, Billy and Buddy’s games, and Christmas rhymes, with pictures by Will Vawter.

Bouncy, sentimental verse for reading aloud, from America’s favourite children’s poet of his day. Download the free EPUB.
