Wee Three: Innocence and Wonder

by Marta Moran Bishop, Hazel Mitchell (Illustrator)

Ms. Bishop’s, latest children’s poetry book in the Wee Three series, Innocence and Wonder takes you into a clean and innocent world where everything is funny and positive. Even everyday lessons are learned without harming. The talented writer once again puts the best of her soul and experience in these wonderful poems. Her poems remind us of a child’s world, full of observations and discoveries. As seen through a child’s eyes we view, animals, bugs, and plant life. Many of the funny poems tell of worms, bees, clever cats, and dogs. The poems also speak to us of nature, rain, snow, and rainbows, describing them from a charmingly wonderful children’s perception. Ms. Bishop’s poetry gives us a unique opportunity to see the world through the eyes of an innocent child. I am convinced that Marta still lives as an inquisitive little girl who is interested in everything.

I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads. I did enjoy reading this book, and will keep it at my day care to read to the kids. They are going to love several of the easy-to-remember ones. I found a couple errors though, and hope that other copies were fixed: on pages 43 and 44 there seemed to be an error with "if" should be "it" and "On" should be "One". Otherwise, a great little book. I will treasure it and keep rereading it.

This poetic collection triggers a perfect mindset for sitting back, relaxing and reminiscing about childhood, alone or with a young child. The verses are delightful and the illustrations are darling. My favorite is: PUDDLES. A read well worth your time.
