A Child's Anthology of Poetry

Poems are like people--so many of them are difficult, boring and unpleasant that it is sometimes tempting to abandon them entirely. Thankfully, A Child''s Anthology of Poetry collects splendid poems instead, and if you read it, you are likely to become a splendid person who will never be abandoned. At least, that is what I am hoping. - Lemony Snicket ''I became so immersed in the book that I wondered if it shouldn''t be called ''everyone''s Anthology of Poetry.'''' - Olivia Newton-John ''Reading aloud to children must be one of the richest of human transactions. . . . The experience is a huge thing, deeply intimate and wonderfully impersonal. what a power is in this thoughtfully edited collection of poems, traditional and new, designed for this rich voicing.'' - Robert Hass, former Poet Laureate of the United States
