What Joe Saw
by
Anna Grossnickle Hines
children's fiction
ages 3-8
Joe keeps lagging behind on his class field trip to the park. The others tease him for being a slow poke, but because Joe is observant and quiet he sees more plants and animals than the others. I can identify with Joe because as a child I used to be the same way. To quote a line from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood - "I like to take my time".

I Like To Take My Time
© 1971 Fred Rogers
I like to take my time
I mean that when I want to do a thing
I like to take my time to do it right!
I mean I might just make mistakes
If I should have to hurry up and
So I like to take my time
To tie my shoes, to eat, to get dressed,
To go to sleep at night to sing a song for you
And every thing I do.
I like to take my time
I mean that when I want to do a thing
I like to take my time to do it right.
I mean I might just make mistakes if
I should have to hurry up and
So I like to take my time.
