Wonderful Poems

The Invisable Ladder was first shown to me by my 6th grade teacher and is a wonderful book, with excelent poems that you really have to look into. Perfect for relaxing, reading, and enjoying! Probably the best poetry anthology I have ever read in my life. Everyone should have a chance to enjoy it!

poetry rocks!

This is my favorite colection of poems for kids, if you don't count Shel Silverstein. (Otherwise I'd give it a 10.) When I want to laugh, I read Uncle Shelby. When I want to get serious I read this book. Though, one of the best poems in it, "The Nose" is pretty funny. So are some of the photos of the poets as cute little fat babies and kids! So on second thought I give it a 9 and a half.
