It's time to relax; to step back and see The wonderful 'garden' where you used to be, Children love verse, and lucky ones grow up with it. An early exposure to meter and rhyme can lead to a lifelong love of language, and all its rich potentials. Yet, barely out of infancy, we are urged to grow up, and leave aside childish things. Plant our nose to the grindstone and our shoulder to the wheel. But somewhere, deep inside us, remains the wonder and joy of childhood. There, verse retains its power to enchant and delight us. In the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Children's Garden of Verses', writer and illustrator Andy Boerger welcomes you into this magical collection of 43 poems, rhymes, and songs that reveal the virtues, foibles and fantasies of humankind, alongside pachyderms and playboys, beauties and beetles, ferrets and forests. Take off those wingtips and let your toes snuggle into the grass. Trade in your briefcase for a bright red balloon. Let a fuzzy caterpillar tickle your palm, and rediscover the world of joy and laughter and wonder, through verse. You work hard, Mr. or Ms. Grownup; 'tis time to let yourself play.
