Customer Reviews

Very approachable poetry

This is a great introduction to poetry for young readers. The poems are short, concrete, and colorful yet very lyrical. The illustrations are fun and perfect for the text. You can read one or two poems at a time, picking the ones that suit the season or your child's activities/interests. Most give a real flavor of life in the city which is fun if you live in the city and informative if you don't.
