First Morning - Poems About Time, compiled by Nikki Siegen Smith is a beautifully illustrated anthology of poems that have been chosen to encourage adults and children to laugh together, to take them to unimagined places and to remind them of special times. The collection will stimulate children's ideas about the concept of time and provide excellent motivation for creative writing.
