A mix of good, blasé, and boring, Some Dickinson and Silverstein. A taste of Emerson, Frost, Eliot, Cumings, and Seuss, Along with some random stuff that doesn't show much talent, Illustrations are adequate, but nothing stands out, A nice collection of children's poems and illustrations, I can't say I truly enjoy poetry but the boys loved this as a slow readaloud, I did appreciate the variety of content, organized in chronological order from Native American poems to African American poets to familiar ballads like "Casey at the Bat" and on into the somewhat bizarre modern poems.
A beautiful picture book with simple poems that the smallest child loves to listen to, Lovely poems and pictures here, Notes:
too many 'dark' type poems for my taste
we like so many other compilation books better than this one
one Dr, Suess poem had us laughing out loud I love the poems in this book, There is a variety of poems from longer, newer, old, and short poems, What a lovely poetry book, If any classroom is short of poetry in their libraries, then this is the perfect book for that classroom, It can be used across any year group and Key Stage, but I have opted to class this as perfect to use with a KSclass, due to the illustrations.
It is perfect to use at story time or when reading to the children, as it allows for great and deep discussions with the children about what the illustrations are saying in relation to the poems.
Younger KSchildren are also able to read the poems independently, or describe what they are seeing in the pictures and using that, what they think the poem is about.
Great book to have in classrooms,
