Perfect present

Arrived on time, excellent condition. According to my 8 yr old grand daughter, it is perfect. She loves to read and was very excited to receive this book.

Best poetry book for young and old

I just bought this book for my mother, who is elderly. It has all the famous poems I remember from when I was a child. I am buying another copy to read with my kids. If you have just one book of poetry on your shelf-- this should be it.

A wonderful book for children and adults!

I read this book to my four-year-old daughter every night before bed. We're already marking our favorites so we can return to them regularly.

Excellent bedtime reading for parents and children alike!

The editor, Elizabeth Hauge Sword, has pulled together an eclectic collection of poetry for parents and children of all ages. Many old standards along with contemporary poets' works are included. My daughters, ages 6 and 2 1/2, look forward to bedtime poems every night
