  Great collection of poems that will make people think back to those wonderful times childhood holds.

  There are some fun classics in this collection, but a lot of them aren't that great. Other than the baby, I can't get my kids to listen to poetry except by coercion.

  Cute collection of classics! We read these throughout the 20-21 school year. “The Land of Nod,” “Hurt No Living Thing,” “Jabberwocky” and “I’m Nobody, Who Are You?” were some of our favorites.

  There are a few gems in here, but even at a price of 3 bucks, this isn't a fabulous addition to our poetry shelf.

  Beautiful book of poetry. My 8yo and I loved it. It was fun to see which once caught her attention and how often they were different from the ones I enjoyed. Such a lovely time we spent together.

  We finally made it through this! We read a few poems once a week so it took us a while. The boys liked some, didn't understand some, sometimes asked for more and other times told me to end it all early. This is a nice collection with simple drawings here and there. It's a nice collection to have in the house.

  Has 2 of my favorite poems ("My Shadow" & "Who Has Seen the Wind?") as well as some childhood favorites and new ones.
  
  "Who Has Seen the Wind?"
  Who has seen the wind?
  Neither I nor you:
  But when the leaves hang trembling
  The wind is passing thro'.
  
  Who has seen the wind?
  Neither you nor I:
  But when the trees bow down their heads
  The wind is passing by.

  interesting collection of poems. Some were fun, other odd and difficult to understand even for me. But overall, a good way to introduce a child to poetry. But overall, a good way to introduce a child to poetry. We read a few poems each week throughout the school year.

  Such a fantastic collection of poems for children from great writers! Great selection of varying lengths and types of poetry. We read straight through a few poems a day during our tea time. My children are 2, 4, 7, and 9.
