Little brothers and sisters,
some words in this book are big.
Knowledge is just like a treasure.
Sometimes you just have to dig.
You will come across words that are hard,
like colloquial or clarinet.
You lose if you say you can’t read them.
Winners just can’t read them yet.
Any kid in the room can yell FART,
just to make grown-ups tense.
To let them know you are clever,
just whisper flatulence.
Learn all words, big and small.
For children who become readers,
grow up to be wonderfully smart and wise,
and become our future leaders
In The Boy King, young King Arthur is challenged by the difficulties facing him and his kingdom. He asks Merlin to find him warriors and is surprised by Merlin's suggestions. Some of the language in this book is advanced. The poem above is on the back of this book to inspire children to try to read more advanced books.
Can you come on over?
Will you stop and play?
The fields are rich in clover.
The air is sweet with hay.
We'll travel there together.
Let's find the perfect place.
We're in for sunny weather with
cool winds on our face.
Rosebud's by the gate.
She's looking for a friend.
Hurry, don't be late.
She'll be there till the end.
