A collection of poems for children of around 8 and younger. None of the poems is 'difficult' or great literature, but there's plenty of variety, from Trad. Anon. to Christina Rossetti and Carl Sandburg with plenty of unknowns on the way. It's arranged in broad topics with interesting headings such as 'Now put this parsnip on your nose' and 'No one loves a Christmas tree on March the twenty-fifth', which intrigue and entice. Several real gems and no real rubbish make this well worth adding to a poetry bookshelf.
