Great book - By: , 27 Dec 2001
Great way to introduce young, & old, to poetry. As a teacher I use this book often with my classes to start the day.

Great read, go on treat yourself.

Praise for a varied and well-chosen collection - By: , 26 Oct 2000
The idea of a poem a day is a good one for introducing poetry to a child, since it provides an easily digestible segment, & you can dipin & out of the book from time to time. Many children's collections suffer from being to heartily amusing or condescending, but this book acheives a nice balance between the silly & the serious. A great deal of thought has obviously gone into choosing a mood for each day, without too many seasonal cliches. I was also pleased to find a number of classical favourites along with selections obviously written for children.
