Accessible poems for young children

This book sings! It is one of the best collections of poems I've come across for my seven year old. When I read this to her at night she doesn't want it to end (this is one of the first times I've been successful at reading poetry to her). I would recommend this book for all ages but the subject nature-based matter is particularly appropriate for young children. Not trite but accessible - "The sun's going down with a great hurrah, a gold ball sinking, staining the sky."
