About This Book

A collection of short, rhyming children's poems that populate a fanciful world of fairies, elves, and small creatures. Scenes include moonlit dances, seaside frolics, garden games, and playful animal portraits, all rendered in light, sing-song verse. Recurring images of nature and domestic whimsy introduce gentle moral touches and humorous surprises. The pieces are brief, accessible, and shaped for reading aloud to young audiences.

Pretty Little Nuns.

Pretty little nuns in their purple hoods.

Lift their little faces fair.

In the lonely corners of the quiet woods;

And make a little chapel there.

And pretty little nuns in their purple hoods,

Meet in little clusters, where

They listen to the music of the grand old woods

And reverently kneel in prayer.
