for me, it was much easier to read books like Little Blue Truck or Goodnight Moon night after night to my kids because they rhyme. I could memorize the poetry and read it as my boys went to sleep while half-asleep myself.

This one line about hubris enters my thoughts unprovoked, an internal reproach, on occasion:

--------

He saw a puddle and he tried to swerve--

Into the mud rolled the big fat truck,

and his big important wheels got STUCK

Even then, his heavy duty dump truck tires were stuck down deep in muck and mire.

I'm not a native English speaker but even I can just hear the metrum in that sentence. Very cool.
