To that tradition is added this latest worthy contribution, The Cracks in the Sidewalk by Gordon Chisholm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of these 30 poems, accompanied by 32 black-and-white line-drawing illustrations, provide a humorous and playful view of common everyday experiences that children have, such as simply walking along on a sidewalk. Other poems are whimsical flights of fancy or observations of the natural world. All together, these fun verses aim at widening children's sense of curiosity and wonder, and promoting feelings of self assurance and confidence in their abilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wish I had an Artobot\u003cbr\u003eTo draw the lines that I cannot, \u003cbr\u003eTo choose the colours that fit the scene, \u003cbr\u003eSo that my pictures look bright and clean.\u003cbr\u003eAn Artobot to shade wherever I please, \u003cbr\u003eTo tint and tone with skilful ea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47429429199026,"sku":"9781525544682","price":28.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/e52dbe695ad7f959065d82c825ee22e5.webp?v=1778563495","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-cracks-in-the-sidewalk-poems-for-kids-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
