These poems play with language by taking it away from its prevalent meaning. At times, you will find poems that build on the commonly used play songs. All poems would easily become your own...you would hear them once and find yourself humming soon after. Gauravi Sharma has made beautiful collages for each one of these poems. Age group 6-8 years
