"This book should be on every teacher's bookshelf! It includes 572 poems, arranged by categories, such as seasons and holidays of the year, weather, moods, humor, animals, nature, children, etc. If you think of a poem that you love for children, it is most likely in this book. The illustrations, by Arnold Lobel, are entertaining and appropriate for the poems. Poems of various lengths are included."
"This is a book of poems for all ages with beautiful illustrations that help tell about the poem. There are a variety of poems such as seasons, food, children/family, and more."
"I have this book at home for my son. He loves being read poems from it and he's only two. I think its a good idea for there to be a book of poems especially for children in the home that is not just Mother Goose rhymes (though those play a critical role in language development and understanding)."
"Thanks to the friends who gave me this tip (Melodie, Sharon, Sara). It's a great little collection of poems for kids--just what we were looking for. Lobel's illustrations don't hurt, either."
