Thank you so very much for your reply...Dear Trevor,<br />Thank you so very much for your reply. How I wish I could provide you with more information.<br />My memory, which is usually word based, is throwing up only this one image (of the children on the horse) and nothing further. I am fairly certain that it was the work of one poet and not a compilation of several. I am so sorry that I can remember nothing more and hope I haven't left you with even a little of my frustration concerning the matter. <br />I love your site and will use it more and more often as my baby grandchildren grow older. I am leaving on Monday to visit my American grand-daughter who has cerebral palsy (affecting only her legs) she is very bright and I would love to find books which stretch her intellectually but acknowledge that not every little child in the world can walk.<br />Thank you again,<br />ValerieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200808769555430311.post-77773676357302744862010-08-15T16:02:24.476+10:002010-08-15T16:02:24.476+10:00Hi Overseas Grandma,

Could you possibly recall a title or two of the poetry? A first or second name of any of the poets? Rough idea of when published (even the decade? <br /><br />See what you can recall and I'll try to find it.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />TrevorTrevor Cairneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743409298855125040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200808769555430311.post-16576120894756456702010-08-14T21:17:50.588+10:002010-08-14T21:17:50.588+10:00Thank you so much for your delightful site. Poetry...Thank you so much for your delightful site. Poetry is a source of immense pleasure to me and I wonder if you might be able to help me find a lost treasure. When I was raising my children in South Africa in the early eighties, we once borrowed (from the local library) a book by an Australian children's poet. It was very tatty and had obviously been well-loved by many previous readers. All I can remember is that it was larger than A4 and, I think, had a poem per page with bright illustrations; the only one of which I can remember is of a large horse with many little children on its back - the children were thereby being transported to school. Oh! I know this is so very vague but I would love to be able to buy it and share it with my grand-children. Is there even the smallest chance that you might be able to help me?overseas grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552376242247075203noreply@blogger.com
