I've just received a letter saying that a poem Owen (my nearly 4 year old) "wrote" at playgroup is to be published in a book "Me and My Family - Little Voices from Merseyside".?
I know he didn't actually write it, just filled in the blank bits but even so....
I've got to sign a copyright/permission form to send back to the publishers and everything - maybe he's going to be a literary genius ?
Here's the poem....
My name is Owen and I go to preschool in the day
When I'm there I like to make towers and play
Bella and Ben are my best friends
My dad picks me up when the day ends
My family are happy, there are 6 of us in all
My favourite person is my daddy, who is really cool
We love to play with the blocks together
If I could I'd play forever
My favourite meal is spaghetti, because it is yum
Helping Mummy cook is always lots of fun
I help by putting the food in the pans while she does the rest
When we work together it always turns out best
As a family Egypt is where we like to visit
We always have sweets, I wouldn't want to miss it
I would like to take my friend Ben to our favourite place
I know he would also think its really ace
This is my first poem all about me and my family
I hope you enjoyed it ust as much as me.
I'm all bleary eyed now ?
