I am not sure of specific poems (I always found it had t do with the child's taste" we have had success with poems from these books:
Emma Searle's Primary Language Lessons
Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic
Favorite Poems Young and Old
A Child's Garden of Verses
Check out Laura Berquist's The Harp and the Laurel Wreath. We used it extensively with the Zman when he was the Zboy and homeschooling.
I'll ask him what his favorites were when I can scrape him away from his textbooks (next week is finals week).....
