O sweet wild April/ Came down the Lea,/ Dancing along,/ With his sisters three:/ Carnation, and Rose,/ and tall Lily./ Sing hi,/ Sing hey,/ Sing ho!—William Force Stead

April is National Poetry Month—sing hi, sing hey, sing ho! Poetry is such a fun way to spark your children’s interest in words and wordplay. Poems have magical, lyrical rhythms and beautiful, descriptive language that will arouse your kids’ curiosity and captivate their senses.
