Product Description

Product Description

This title offers a century of poetry, gathered from nearly one hundred and fifty different poets. From Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, and W.B. Yeats writing at the beginning of the century, to John Agard, Wendy Cope, and Seamus Heaney writing today, the poems cover a wide range of subjects, themes, and emotions. The poems have been selected from poets who either wrote for children, or who wrote poems that children have found enjoyable. Michael Harrison and Christopher Stuart-Clark have edited a number of books for Oxford University Press, including "The Oxford Treasury of Classic Poems", "The Oxford Book of Christmas Poems", and "The Oxford Treasury of Christmas Poems".

4.0 out of 5 stars The topics of children's lives are explored through poetry, 24 Oct 2001
By Karen M. Storms (Kings Langley, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
