It is time once again for Poppins Book Nook. This month’s theme is: Poetry! Please join in the fun with the linky & giveaway at the end!

My kids were introduced to Christina Rossetti through First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind. Her simple poems are easy to learn and appealing to young children. Sing-Song is a collection of her nursery rhymes. This sweet set of children’s poem can also be found online for free.

If A Pig Wore A Wig

If a pig wore a wig,
What could we say?
Treat him as a gentleman,
And say “Good day.”

If his tail chanced to fail,
What could we do? —
Send him to the tailoress
To get one new.

I decided to use a few of Christina Rossetti’s poems to create some coloring pages for my kids. (I also have a set for Robert Louis Stevenson.) These can be used for copywork, or print the poems on cardstock and place in page protectors for a memory work notebook.
