* Swedenborg held some concerning theological beliefs, so parents might want to avoid that paragraph in the after notes (or be ready to discuss).
This poem is a delight to read aloud! You’ll soon be torn between keeping up the cadence and wanting to pause to take in all the visual details. For this reason, re-reading is a must. I’d definitely see if your library has a copy!
