Format:Paperback
Covering the "simple" topics of childhood, like love, animals, people, and war, this anthology offers a wide range of poems from the last century, either purposefully written for children or poems children ended up appreciating and enjoying. It also includes a very useful index of titles and first lines, an author index, and an illustrator index.

This is a book older readers may find more engaging because the font is smaller and there are few illustrations, but it contains a wealth of poems young readers would enjoy. It seems like the kind of book that warrants reading aloud to the younger readers.

Bought this book for my 9 year old. It's great, some really good poems, don't think we'd heard of any of them before!
