Review
'Children will meet some of the best-known poetry in English in Jackie Morris's The Barefoot Book of Classic Poems. The bright watercolors and intriguing hints of story that Morris splashes across the pages make this an attractive venue for first encounters with the soon-to-be-familiar ... the more than 70 poems have enough range and allure to entice the young and the adults who read to them. Luminaries like Yeats and Poe keep amiable company with Ogden Nash (The Tale of Custard the Dragon) and Alfred Noyes (The Highwayman)' --The New York Times Sunday Book Review
'Wonderful poems come together with breathtaking illustrations in this gorgeous gift book. The words of Sylvia Plath, A.A. Milne and others make this a feast for the eyes and ears, and a collection to be treasured for life. --The Guardian
'This beautifully produced book takes the reader on a journey through life. From the beautiful Morning Song by Sylvia Plath, about the birth of a child, to Shakespeare's reflection on the seven ages in All the World's a Stage, the classic poems celebrate the breadth of human experience, offering glimpses into other worlds. It is a gloriously illustrated volume to share with children of all ages --The Good Book Guide
