With Love from Grampa

Verse and Songs for Grandchildren of all ages by Mervyn Woodrow

A really charming collection of original verse and song, this anthology is tastefully illustrated. The material ranges from verse for little ones and progresses to material more suited to older grandchildren. It endeavours to cultivate the imagination which is critical in a child’s development:

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” (Albert Einstein)

It is not overburdened with large colourful pictures but has thousands of images created by words.
