Sing-Song

I did not enjoy this book of poetry as much as I enjoyed the Child's Garden of Verses. However, I did like some aspects of the work. Some of the things I found interesting are how the book both begins and ends the same; with a child sleeping in its bed. I also found it interesting that the poems move through phases that coinside with seasons. I can see how this book is meant for children, but I can also see how adults are able to relate to some of the poems. I think Christina Rossetti did a good job of writing these poems so they can be interpreted by the individual based on their own life experiences.
