Wonderful book of poetry for children and adults alike.

Every child should be so blessed as to read this book or have it read to them. A very lovely collection of poems!

Classic children's poetry, interesting for all ages

My kids and I love these poems. We read one together each day, and then my kids draw a picture of what the poem means to them. This book is wonderful for vocabulary development. The kids get exposure to an extremely wide variety of authors, which I believe is far beyond what they would be exposed to in most elementary schools (either public or private). There is so much variety in the poetry selections. No matter what your child's interests, this book has something for everyone. This is a fantastic book: great for home schooling families or for anyone who wants to enrich their child's education. These poems are all available free online, but most kids will prefer the format of the book.

Great poetry selection

This book has a large selection of wonderful poems. Some are funny, some are touching, and all of them were enjoyable to my children.
