Simply Snickers: Children's Storybooks

First of all, thank you all for voting on the photos below, by comment or email! If you haven't voted yet, there's still time -- I won't close voting for another week or so :) Yes, I will tell y'all which one I eventually choose, but since I haven't actually chosen yet, you don't get to know quite yet. Yes, I'm being evil -- any other questions?! *wink*

I will say that at the moment, as I am writing this, the current tally has photo #1 in the lead with 12 first pick votes, and #3 right behind with 10!! :)

Before I post any more (and don't forget, Sunday Stills soon), I wanted to get my Simply Snickers poem up. This week's prompts were linger, love, look. And this week's featured artist is Joan Walsh Anglund, author and illustrator of children's books. So this is what I came up with (copyright, etc., etc.)


Children's Storybooks

Little hands with little fingers
Turn the pages of little books
Little eyes so love to linger
Love to look, and look, and look

A butterfly, a firetruck
Three blind mice and a farmer’s wife
A boat, a bird, a rubber duck
On these pages, come to life

Words and pictures tell the tale
Of Humpty Dumpty’s tragic fall
Of the milkmaid’s upset pail
Of how the beanstalk grew so tall

Mother Goose’s rhyming pages
The diligence of Little Red Hen
Stories loved throughout the ages
To be read, and read, and read again

Ta ta for now!

...I always wanted to say that...
