Overview
An extensive anthology of poetry selected to please the varied moods and interests of boys and girls
Publishers Description
Over 700 classic and modern poems written by poets from William Shakespeare to J. R. R. Tolkien, Emily Dickinson to Langston Hughes, and covering a range of favorite topics—pets, playtime, family, nature, and nonsense—ensure that there's a poem to please every child. A truly comprehensive collection that is the ideal way of introducing children to the joys of reading poetry.

“Among this abundance of funny poems, serious poems, story poems, poetic prose from the Bible, parents will find almost all those they want to share with their children. It makes a fat, generous, attractive book.”—Christian Science Monitor
“If your children don't like poetry, expose them to this collection . . . and I defy them to resist its magic.”—Kirkus Reviews |

 | Poetry for Young and Old Sep 1, 2007 |
| I have had this book for years, ever since my family was very young. I purchased it myself. We spent many an evening sitting on the front porch with neighborhood children reading the poetry. The funniest time was when we had a neighbor from Japan read Jabberwocky. I remember that to this day. I think she laughed the hardest. There is a poem there for everyone. Now I bought the book for my grandchildren. One in particular loves and writes poetry, and I feel this will give her a chance to read all kinds of poetry. That is who I bought this last book for. It is a family book. | | | | What a find! Jan 12, 2007 |
| As a homeschooling mother, I have searched for several years to find just the right poetry book. I have children ranging in age from 6-19, and wanted a wealth of poems that would span the broad age range. This book contains over seven hundred poems - so every time we open the book, we discover new treasures. We especially like the rhythm and rhyme that so many of the poems have. Although the book is organized by themes, it is indexed by title, author, and even first lines, so we can easily find our favorites the next time. If you only have space or money to buy one poetry book, this is the one! | | |  | Poetry Source Mar 3, 2006 |
| Great collection of poems for read aloud to younger children and for older children, copy and memeory work. | | | | All the poetry you need Sep 18, 2005 |
| This is such a wonderfully complete book. We are using this as our full poetry curriculum in our home school. The poems are categorized wonderfully to help you find a poem for different topics and also there is a listing by author so you can study them individually. I love having all the poetry I need in one beautiful book. It is really full. | | | | A childhood favorite Sep 6, 2005 |
| I can still recite a half-dozen poems from here, some xx years later. It has sooo many poems, some short, some long, some funny, some serious. What IS all this washing about??? Enjoy -- | | | Write your own review about Favorite Poems Old and New
