Kids love rhymes and so do the parents. Think about the many hours of fun that you had reading nursery rhymes to your kids : the alliterative sounds of Hickory Dickory Dock; the repetitive rhyme-song, Polly Put the Kettle On; the exciting huffing and puffing of The 3 Little Pigs, and countless other memorable rhymes.

These rhymes never go out of fashion despite the pervasive influence of cable TV and smartphones. and it's a great way to get children hooked on the language. And, I think it's not only kindergarteners and elementary school kids who love rhymes ; rhymes will also appeal to secondary school students if they are well-chosen to suit their age level and interest. Here's a rhyme I wrote recently for my new book:


I see the moon
The moon sees me
I smile at the moon
The moon smiles at me
I wink at the moon
The moon winks at me
I frown at the moon
The moon frowns at me
I scratch my eyebrow
The moon scratches her eyebrow
I say goodnight
She turns off the light.
