Bug Feet: An Introduction to Rhythm in Poetry

Rhythm is a measured pattern found in our heartbeat, in music, in the way we walk, jump rope, or dance, and even in animal and insect sounds.

From infancy, children enjoy the rhythm in songs and nursery rhymes. This book introduces four common metric feet using short poems about common creepy crawlers, encouraging the youngest students to listen for the patterns of rhythm so they can write their own poems.
