This collection of 64 poems for children (from Homer to Wordsworth to Angelou) holds far more than most. First, readers learn about many forms of poetry--such as nursery rhyme, ballad, haiku, sonnet and more. They "meet" each poet in brief, lively mini-biographies. For days when you can't read aloud together, they can read along and listen to a professional actor read each selection with a downloadable audio. Fun and inviting.
