Description

At last, this favorite first introduction to poetry is available in a beautifully designed paperback. Introduce young children to poetry and help them make the leap from nursery rhymes to other kinds of verse--ballads, poems of mystery, delicate tales of fairies, songs of the sea--with a jingle or limerick mixed in here and there, and always an element of surprise.
