Going to buy a Book
Read and learn this poem
New words
library, wide, galore, skinny,
shelves, wonderful
“Come in, come in!”
Said the library door;
I opened it wide
And saw books galore!
Tall skinny books
Up high on the shelves;
Little fat books
That stood by themselves.
I opened one up
And sat down to look;
The pictures told stories!
What a wonderful book!
