I was thrilled to find this expansive volume of poetry which all my children - ages three through 12 - could equally enjoy. The mini-biographies of many of the poets provide an excellent source of further exploration into the individual lives of the poets.

The way the poems are separated also provide a means for additional conversation with children. The sections are diverse (from Poems about Nature, Poems about Family, Poems that Tell Stories, and Poems to Ponder) again will appeal to children of different age groups and for different reasons.

Excellent for home school parents and as a bridge from Mother Goose to more advanced poetry for the older pre-school aged child. The illustrations, like many of the poems, are classics - familiar color plates as well as simple line drawings in an old fashioned style.

Best Read-Aloud Poems to intruce poems to young kids. My daughter can't put it down! She kept reading it out loud.
