A Child's Introduction to Poetry: Listen While You Learn about the Magic Words that Have Moved Mountains, Won Battles and Made Us Laugh and Cry
This is a great book. Not condescending at all. The author picks truly great (and difficult) poetry and presents it in a really engaging way, with just enough explanation for kids to figure out the meanings of the poems. The only quibble I have is that the readers on the accompanying cd are not that good. No matter - poetry is always better when you yourself read it out loud!
