Right now Nature Girl and I are doing an "I'll Read, You Read" walk through Where The Sidewalk Ends (and she'll be firm on pointing out it is the anniversary edition with the poem "The Truth about Turtles")
If anyone ever doubts the power and benefit of social stories or curative storytelling with inattentive children have them present that child with Shel Silverstein's poem THE LOSER
| The Loser Mama said I'd lose my head If it wasn't fastened on. Today I guess it wasn't 'Cause while playing with my cousin It fell off and rolled away And now it's gone. And I can't look for it, 'cause my eyes are in it And I can't call to it Cause my mouth is on it (Couldn't hear me anyway 'Cause my ears are on it), Can't even think about it 'Cause my brain is in it. So I guess I'll sit down On this rock And rest for just a minute.... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 I got to this poem and was affronted by the title and wasn't going to read it but Nature Girl grabbed the book and said "I love this one! I'M going to read it!" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
