BOOKS by BURGES JOHNSON

First Line: THE ROWS OF LETTERS ON THE PAGE
Last Line: AND GUESS AT WHAT THE LETTERS SAY.
Subject(s): BOOKS; CHILDREN; ILLITERACY; READING; CHILDHOOD;
The rows of letters on the page
Can talk, for grown-ups tell me so;
But pictures tell me, at my age,
Quite all the things I need to know.

But when there are no pictures there,
(And many books are made that way)
I open pages anywhere
And guess at what the letters say.
