A Trip to the Country

About the Book

A Trip To The Country, a story woven around rhyme, is designed to help children (and some adults) learn about nature. The story answers, through rhyme, questions children might ask, such as “What makes rain, wind, thunder, and lightning?” Written not only to include a love of rhyme and poetry, but also to inform, A Trip To The Country includes “big” words with appropriate definitions, such as “gravity” and “centrifugal”. The story which ties the poems together is of two children, a brother and sister, and their encounters with nature as they travel with their parents to visit their sick grandmother. Many of the experiences depicted are inspired by events in the author’s own childhood.
