I used to love the first paddle of spring, down the old rec. in #Uttoxeter #stream #poems4kids #spring

This week's #wordoftheweek from @thetoypress.bsky.social took me to one of my favorite spots in Oklahoma.

Hello, Happy Easter!

Here is your #wordoftheweek!

#writingcommunity #writingforchildren #poetrycommunity #kidlit

Killing two birds with one stone would be an unfortunate turn of phrase for this poem - but using @thetoypress.bsky.social #wordoftheweek #pootle and #NaPoWriMo prompt for the day, I’ve come up with this! Thank you both! #poetry #poetryforkids 🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛

It would be rude not to! 🌙🌖🚀🌟

This idea just beat out one about having a cute-le pootle in Bootle.

If you plan to pootle,
a poodle is a perfect companion for pootling.
And with a gold, long‑tasselled‑haired terrier,
they’d tap along the river’s lull.
And a Great Dane, animated,
rising in a tree‑house elevation.

What’s on the next page? Come on and look inside It could be full of monsters And there’s nowhere left to hide are there lands of fairies and magic? Or of dragons breathing fire? Maybe there’s a genie in a lamp Who’ll grant your heart’s desire Who knows what could be lurking Lying waiting on your shelves Perhaps there are hidden worlds Full of goblins, orcs and elves A city full of zombies A portal to who-knows-where There’s only one way to find out Come in: enter, if you dare

Poem for this week’s @thetoypress.bsky.social prompt

@thetoypress.bsky.social Word of the Week is MONSTER.

Two limericks in a row? And this one isn't even new? Shocking. There is at least a video in which I put on a silly accent. @thetoypress.bsky.social #WordOfTheWeek

The #wordofthe week from @thetoypress.bsky.social is "Monster." Writing this week's poem made me giggle.

It's National Puppy Day in the US today, so a good excuse to share this adorable illustration by Megan Spencer which can be found in our Pets edition!

Want your celebration-themed illustrations featured in our next edition? Send them in by April 14th to be considered.

Silky sounds: pink‑whiskered squeaks,
tabby tortoiseshell meows and wows,
gruff, long‑haired growls.
