When We Were Very Young by A.A. Milne
5.0
Happy National Poetry Month everyone! I will admit, I am not a huge reader of poetry, but I do plan on attempting to read more in the scope of wanting to expand my literary horizons. If you have any favorite poets that I just have to read, let me know in the comments below this post! In the spirit of this month and in reading the Winnie the Pooh series, I picked up a copy of When We Were Very Young by A.A. Milne.
This book is a quick read (took me a couple of hours of off and on reading to finish) full of darling little poems and drawings. Most of these poem were quite endearing and charming. I had to take pictures of a couple of the drawings too just for my own reference. I couldn't help but find myself reflecting on childhood as a theme for this collection and inserting images of my daughter among the characters of each poem.
I hope to one day check this book out again to read to my daughter. The poems are short enough to hold her attention now, but I think she will appreciate it more when she's a touch older. You really should take the time to read this. It's a perfect pick-me-up!
