I absolutely love this book. Slices of Childhood has a collection of six poems, and these six poems talk about the important events in a child's life. The first two poems talk about food, the next two poems talk about bathtime and another two poems talks about bathtime. Each event was told from two completely different points of view. The first child is the one who dislikes food, bathtime, and bedtime. The opposite of the first child, the second child absolutely loves food, bathtime, and bedtime.
I would absolutely rate this book a four out of four stars. The poems are easy to understand, so beginning readers will not feel discouraged reading these poems. These poems also connect with children's life events. The illustrations of the books are absolutely engaging. The expression of the child, the mom, and the animals are vividly and clearly on each page. I really like how the author and the illustrator separate the text and the illustration into its own page. This book would be a great introduction to poems because the poems are easy for students to comprehend.

This book has a very colorful illustration that catches my first sight. The wonder world between bedtime and after bedtime will always be a great mystery for children. Each book has a very colorful and detail that would the child into another mystery world. There are many distractions to children in the world today that parents might not think of. Reading this book will refresh the children's ming those distractions. Each poem has a wonderful topic where parents can discuss with their children. I would rate the poems four of four stars because I believe this would be a great book for parents to introduce their children to poems.

These sound like great books, and poems for young children. The first one sounds like one children would connect to in that the main characters remind them of themselves. The second book sounds like something children would enjoy because it is like a child's dream. Thank you for your post.
