What child’s bookshelf is complete without a superbly illustrated collection of classic poems? This exquisitely produced anthology, which features embossed pages and flocking on the spine, will become a beloved family favorite. Featuring the most renowned creators of children’s verse, it makes the perfect read-aloud and an ideal introduction to poetry’s rhyme and rhythm. Kids will love listening to the imaginative words of Lewis Carroll (“How Doth the Little Crocodile?â€); Kate Greenaway (“The Cats Have Come to Teaâ€); Edward Lear (“The Owl and the Pussycatâ€); Vachel Lindsay (“The Little Turtleâ€); and many others.
As in the four previous Treasury titles, Linda Bleck’s colorful artwork has a fresh, fun feel that will appeal to children.
