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.

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

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

This book has so much for children with so many wonderful authors, some i've never heard about.

Favourite poems are included and guaranteed to keep your kids happy on a rainy day or an incentive if reluctant to go to bed.

Don't forget to read Jim and Matilda by hilaire Belloc. Kipling, Milne, Lear, they are all there.
