المستخلص

Employing English language children's literature as a theoretical framework that sheds light on the definition of the term and its historical development, this paper strives to explore a variety of insights into enriching the child's world. To achieve this goal, the paper focuses on selected poems for children written by three poets who have varied backgrounds of place and time. The first of these figures is the nineteenth-century English poet Christina Rossetti (1830 –1894); the second is the twentieth-century American poet and cartoonist Shel Silverstein (1930 –1999); and the third is the contemporary Jamaican-born poet Valerie Bloom (b.1956). Depending on the poems selected for discussion, the researcher argues that each of these authors writes a kind of poetry that enriches the child's world in a specific way. The various ideas and experiences offered by the three writers in the selected poems are beautifully integrated, providing young readers with comprehensive insights and useful mechanisms that enable them to achieve success and lead a happy life.
