Adrienne T. O'Connell, teacher, B.A., Grad. Dip. Ed., taught indigenous classrooms in the outback to multicultural city classrooms.As an educator, I know the importance of reading rhyme for young children. The earlier the exposure, the more rapid the benefits for the child by expanding their exposure to vocabulary. This is especially important by the age of three years old. Rhyme also involves words of similar sound but with different meanings which promotes cognitive growth. Lullabies and poems also provide physical comfort to a growing child that helps them settle down and relax. "The Boat to Lullaby Bay" is a wonderful introduction to the world of poems and lullabies with beautiful illustrations that are sure to delight parents and children.
