I love reading the verses to my grandchildren (ages 3-7). They listen attentively, enchanted by every selection. They have quickly learned to recognize most of the authors. My grandchildren in kingergarten and first grade are able to read many of the verses themselves, although they still like Grandma to read to them. Hearing the various rhythms of poetry has been a motivation and inspiration for them to emulate in their oral reading.

It is a fantastic gift for any age child. Great for older children to read to their younger siblings. The vast majority of the book is of interest and most enjoyable for all ages, from the very young to the very old (but young at heart). My children have asked for copies to be given to their children's other grandparents......fantastic book for grandparents to read to their grandchildren.

We have all enjoyed the artwork along with the verses. The assortment of poems, prayers and scripture is excellent. A refreshing, inspiring, memorable, and enjoyable book. It is a true "family" book for reading enjoyment as well as a "coffee table" book!

Stevenson, et al poems and verses are a long time favorite for parents and grandparents to read with children, but when you add the incredible illustrations by Kincade, you have a masterpiece of many delights.

This is a very nice book. It is to be used for home school children. They will enjoy the poetry and illustrations.

Growing up with the words of Robert Lewis Stevenson, I knew that this combination with Thomas Kinkade would be a success. Filled also with bible verses, this is the perfect gift for a Baptism - I'm buying several to give to babies and children of friends and family. It is a wonderful keepsake to be treasured.

I have given this book to five different mothers at baby showers and they all adore it. I get invited to lots of baby showers and I have decided to always purchase books in the hopes that parents will read to their children. This book has been a favorite hit with everyone. Not everyone likes Thomas Kincade, however, I find his books peaceful in conjunction with these children's verses.

I bought this book yesterday, as a baby shower gift. It's so greatthat my husband wanted to buy one for ourselves as well. I love ThomasKinkade's paintings and those prayers and poems in it. If someome will send us a baby shower gift in future, this book is what I want.

I received this book as a gift, and I just can't bring myself to read to my baby from a book with such sickening, cloying illustrations. Looking at Thomas Kincaid's work makes my skin crawl. Ewwww! I cannot understand how Thomas Kincaid makes a living. Is America's taste in art really that bad??

I am looking for an edition of *A Child's Garden of Verses* that does not feature the "artwork" of Thomas Kincaid.

I had this book (without the illustrations) as a child, and loved it.
