Good. Why 4 stars
Bought it for my daughter age 6. Good. Why 4 stars. Not impressed with the quality of many poems. But there are good ones. Could have been edited and pruned better. But it's good nevertheless.

Children love it!
I would recommend this to primary teachers and children. I have used it for years with groups of children from 5-9 years old. There is always a poem to be found to suit any subject that is chosen. The poetry is enjoyed and easily learnt by the students,

A wonderful collection
What great book! We read poems from this “treasure trove”, a few times a week to my 95 year old mom. Being a retired elementary school teacher. she loves hearing these touching, and sometimes comedic poems.
