Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-11 00:00:00 Soulet Pascal This is the poetry book I remember best from childhood. My sister and I returned to it again and again whenever we covered poetry at school. The poems are collected to reflect the twelve months of the year and the characteristics of the seasons. Some of the poems are by well-known poets, others less well-known, but all really capture the characteristics, moods and events we associate with the seasons. No matter when you take this book out in class, there's bound to be at least one poem that captures what's going on outside the window - or what's going on inside the classroom!

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-15 00:00:00 Anders Jorgensen This isn't "a year of poems" in the sense of "a poem a day," but rather divided into sections by month, with everything in each section being very seasonal to that time of year. So while it was an okay selection of poems, thematically it got a bit dull. The illustrations, though, contributed by about a dozen different artists in different styles, are really very good.
