Review # 1 was written on 2018-11-17 00:00:00 Bernice Aldrich Chosen for the illustrations by Fujikawa, but pleasantly surprised by the diversity of the verses chosen. Some are significantly longer, or more serious, than those included in other anthologies for young children. I'm particularly impressed by "The Day is Done" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, with 11 verses including: A feeling of sadness and longing, That is not akin to pain, And resembles sorrow only As the mist resembles the rain.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-04 00:00:00 Paul Michaels The best edition of "children's" poetry, period. Gorgeous drawings, Rich beautiful poetry wonderfully illustrated, that doesn't assume children must be pandered to. Longfellow, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Dickinson.. A introduction to whet a child's appetite for a lifetime filled with poetry, poets, beautiful language, and rich ideas. This will now be my go-to baby shower gift.
