Dear readers
My first newsletter was quiet successful and I got really good responses. Here is number two the Mother’s Day Poetry and Poems Newsletter. I hope you will find it as interesting as the first one. If you are interested in poetry, poems and children’s literature, do you want to get updates about interesting children writers, book reviews and “surf tips” for kids.
Do you like information about free software downloads and valuable educational freeware for children. Please join me and subscribe for the Poetry4kids free newsletter.
Ciao and have fun,
Happy Mother’s Day Milou

#2. Books I like
Milou’s other book reviews: Books by Roald Dahl
Vile Verse (2005) is a humorous book of poetry by Roald Dahl. He is best remembered as the author of many well-loved children’s stories. But he was also the creator of some astonishingly imaginative and wonderfully disgusting verses. This book is an extraordinary collection with Dahl’s poems, verses, and songs. It is filled with almost all poems he wrote during his career and even some from child hood!
Vile Verses has made me laugh a lot, but still be aware of disgustingly-funny rhymes. (But most of them are not so disgusting, they are mostly funny).
The full-color original illustrations from a well-established group of more than twenty artists like Quentin Blake, R. Dahl’s principal illustrator make this book very special and exiting. I LOVE Vile Verses and I will always love it, and I hope you will also enjoy it too.

#3. Browsing the Web
For school and as well at home, I need a lot of information. For my homework I need sometimes a good dictionary for definitions and spelling words. For math I want to find some good examples. I like to read about animals, science, my hobby minerals and other stuff. Here are a useful list of services for kids I use regularly. Have fun
