These poems about a toddler’s characteristics involve close observation and attention to detail, described using a whole range of verbs.  The kenning is an excellent poem form for this, and doing two opposite viewpoints is a great exercise in seeing things from different perspectives.  These poems would be great for getting a debate started!
