This was my DD (9yo) memory work for October 2006. Funny, I always think it is going to take much longer than it ever does for her to memorize anything. This entire poem she had memorized in just about a week! LOL So, we spent the rest of the time just working on voice inflection... adding feeling... to the poem.
This is one of my favorite poems. I remember my own mom reading it to me growing up (along with other JWR poems.) She read from, and now I own, this book:

Give her a hug from me and my Little One!
