Poems for the Very Young Child: Poems for Spring

I found a delightful children's book in a local antique store. Poems for the Very Young Child was compiled by Dolores Knippel and illustrated by Mary Ellsworth and published by Whiteman Publishing CO in 1932.

Today I am sharing poems under the chapter SPRING.












An Ancestry.com search showed Delores Knipple was a teacher in Milwaukee, WS who born in 1903 and died in 2006. She remained unmarried all of her life. Mary Ellsworth was a prolific children's illustrator, including the art for the first Boxcar Children series.
