1 release dates: April (06) 2006 The Mini Page Publishing Company Inc. By BETTY DEBNAM Celebrate National Poetry Month Meet Robert Louis Stevenson Robert Louis Stevenson ( ) wrote books and poems more than 100 years ago. They are classics that we still enjoy today. His poetry book for children, A Child s Garden of Verses, was published in Stevenson also wrote many adventure books for adults and kids, such as Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In college, Robert Louis Stevenson first studied engineering, then switched to law. Although he became a lawyer, he decided he wanted to write rather than practice law. art courtesy Associated Press, from the Silverado Museum Collection, St. Helena, CA. Childhood Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was often ill as a child, suffering from tuberculosis, an illness that makes it hard to breathe. He suffered from health problems throughout his life. Seeking adventure As soon as he graduated from college, he began a life of traveling. His first books were about his journeys. He married an American, Fanny Osbourne. He, his wife and stepson traveled for years, looking for a climate that would be good for Stevenson s health. They settled on an island in the south Pacific Ocean, Samoa (suh-moe-uh). Stevenson died there after a stroke when he was only 44 years old. jacket art by Tasha Tudor, 1999 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers The poems in A Child s Garden of Verses were different from most poems of the day. Stevenson used simple words and wrote about everyday happenings in a child s life. Before that, kids poems taught lessons in a serious way. My Shadow (from A Child s Garden of Verses ) I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball, And he sometimes goes so little that there s none of him at all. He hasn t got a notion of how children ought to play, And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. He stays so close behind me, he s a coward you can see; I d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me! One morning, very early, before the sun was up, I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
2 17-2 (06); release dates: April A Sample of Stevenson s Poems The Mini Page gives you a sampling of poems from A Child s Garden of Verses, by Robert Louis Stevenson. The Cow The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart: She gives me cream with all her might, To eat with apple-tart. She wanders lowing here and there, And yet she cannot stray, All in the pleasant open air, The pleasant light of day; And blown by all the winds that pass And wet with all the showers, She walks among the meadow grass And eats the meadow flowers. Bed in Summer In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day. I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people s feet Still going past me in the street. And does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, To have to go to bed by day? Mini Spy... Mini Spy and Alpha Mouse are playing with their shadows. See if you can find: exclamation mark man in the moon key umbrella cat knife mushroom pencil word MINI snake lady s shoe tooth question mark spoon butterfly The Wind I saw you toss the kites on high And blow the birds about the sky; And all around I heard you pass, Like ladies skirts across the grass I saw the different things you did, But always you yourself you hid. I felt you push, I heard you call, I could not see yourself at all O you that are so strong and cold, O blower, are you young or old? Are you a beast of field and tree, Or just a stronger child than me? POETRY TRY N FIND Words that remind us of poetry are hidden in the block below. Some words are hidden backward or diagonally.

4 17-4 (06); release dates: April Some Poetry for Kids Today The Mini Page celebrates National Poetry Month by interviewing a poetry professor, Dr. Sylvia Vardell. Dr. Vardell, who teaches at Texas Woman s University, has written several books on poetry for kids. She is now working on an encyclopedia of children s poets. What is poetry? People often think something is poetry if it rhymes. But not all poetry rhymes. And some things that rhyme are not poetry. If a work cannot stand on its own, without pictures, it is not a true poem, even if it rhymes. Poets are interested in the words and the spaces around the words. They carefully decide how to arrange the words on the page. They keep only the exact words they need. Poets try to show the reader the heart of an experience. Rhyming Many poets do rhyme their poems. Often, rhyming helps the reader feel the music of the words. Many poems should be read aloud. Poetry is not written to sit quietly on a page. Whether people are reading poetry or putting it to music, it can come alive through our voices. Poetry is an invitation to be loud and to be heard. Look through your newspaper for a picture or story that you could write a poem about. Next week The Mini Page celebrates Mother s Day with a story about special animal moms. The Mini Page offers some of the poetry for kids being written today. Janet S. Wong has written several books of poetry for kids. Night Garden: Poems From the World of Dreams is about many kinds of dreams, even a dog s. Old Friend I had forgotten you, friend. Is that why you came into my dream? I had forgotten you. When I fall asleep again, will you leave your address on my pillow? Old Friend from Night Garden Poems From the World of Dreams by Janet Wong, 2000 by Janet Wong. Used with permission from Margaret K. McElderry Books/ Simon & Schuster Children s Publishing J. Patrick Lewis has written more than 25 poetry books for kids. The Mini Page is created and edited by Betty Debnam Associate Editors Tali Denton Lucy Lien Staff Artist Wendy Daley Your Average Cow Your average cow lives to age 15 Some live longer now and then. The average human? 75. (Women live longer than men.) So we live to be how many times As old as your average cow? If you guess the answer correctly, Go ahead and take a bow. Your Average Cow from ARITHME-TICKLE, 2002 by J. Patrick Lewis, reprinted by permission of Harcourt, Inc. jacket art 2002 by Frank Remkiewicz, published by Harcourt, Inc. jacket art 2000 by Julie Paschkis, published by Simon & Schuster Arithme- Tickle is filled with fun riddles and rhymes about math.

This week s standards: Students comprehend and respond to a variety of images and text. Students identify forms and elements of literature. (Language Arts: Reading) Activities: 1. Select one of the poems in today s Mini Page. Draw a picture to go with the poem. Then copy the poem on the paper under your picture. Give the poem to a family member or friend. 2. Look through the newspaper to find rhyming words. Circle a word with a colored marker. Then find a word that rhymes with that word and circle it in the same color. To try something different, circle a word with a marker and write your own rhyming word next to that word. 3. Go to the weather section of your newspaper. Circle at least six weather words. Now use those words in your own poem about weather. 4. Select your favorite comic strip in the newspaper. Write a cinquain about the character in the comic strip. On the first line, write the character s name. On the second line, write two words that describe the character. On the third line, write three verbs ending in ing that tell what the character does. On the fourth line, write a four-word phrase about the character. On the fifth line, write another word for the character. 5. Use resource books and the Internet to learn more about one of the poets whose books are featured in today s Mini Page. Use these questions to guide your research: When did the poet first become interested in writing poetry? What topics does the poet like to write about? Where does the poet get his/her ideas for poems? How does the poet write his/her poems? What awards or recognition has the poet received? (standards by Dr. Sherrye D. Garrett, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi) Supersport: Chris Carpenter Height: 6-6 Birthdate: Weight: 220 Birthplace: Exeter, N.H. Chris Carpenter has the tall, lean look of a basketball player. And lots of baseball s sluggers no doubt wish he were somewhere on a court rather than on the pitcher s mound. In 2005, the St. Louis Cardinals ace baffled batters once again. He compiled a 21-5 record with a 2.83 earned run average and captured the National League Cy Young Award, which is given annually to the league s best pitcher. Simply put, Carpenter is a right-hander with all the right stuff. He s counted on again this season to lead a strong pitching staff, which helped the Cardinals win 100 games and the Central Division title in 05. As a youth growing up in New Hampshire, Carpenter excelled in both baseball and hockey. During the off-season, he returns to his native state, living in Bedford, N.H., with his wife, Alyson, and their son, Sam. (Note to Editor: Above is the Standards for Issue 17.)
