One of the things that makes Asimov's poems so special is her ability to capture the sense of wonder that children have about the world. In her poem "The World is Big," she writes:

The Joys of Childhood

I love to play in the rain,
To splash in the puddles deep.
I splash and I jump and I spin,
And I laugh until I can't breathe.

This poem is sure to resonate with young readers. They will be able to relate to the joy of playing in the rain and letting go of their worries.

Lessons for Life

While Asimov's poems are often lighthearted and fun, she also includes some poems that offer gentle lessons for life. In her poem "Be Kind to Others," she writes:

Be kind to others, big and small,
For everyone is special.
Treat others the way you want to be treated,
And the world will be a better place.

This poem is a valuable reminder for children of all ages. It teaches them the importance of compassion, empathy, and kindness.
