A collection of poems that range from well known works through from various eras and schools of poets, as well as anonymous works. They cover an excellent range of topic and language if your goal is to introduce a child to poetry. Some language is dated, and there are British terms that might need to be explained to young children if they aren't aware of what they mean ("5 pound note" stumped me for some time I never understood why a piece of paper with writing should weigh so much until I became familiar with British currency). Illustrations accompany each poem, and they are organized by theme in an easy to follow table of contents. ( )
