The Random House Book of Poetry for Children Specifications
The Random House Book of Poetry for Children was recognized upon its publication in 1983 as an invaluable collection--a modern classic--and it has not since been surpassed. Five hundred poems, selected by poet and anthologist Jack Prelutsky, are divided into broad subject areas such as nature, seasons, living things, children, and home. The poems of Emily Dickinson, Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost, Langston Hughes, Nikki Giovanni, and Gwendolyn Brooks populate the book's pages, while Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, Ogden Nash, and Shel Silverstein ensure that the collection delights even the most reluctant readers of rhyme. Playground chants, anonymous rhymes, scary poems, silly verse, and even some sad strains are carefully indexed by title, author, first line, and subject. With illustrations of cheerful, round-faced children and animals on every page, Arnold Lobel (a Caldecott medalist and creator of the Frog and Toad series) unifies the diverse poems to form a satisfying whole; Lobel can draw anything and make it funny--or poignant, if he chooses. This collection, one of the most varied and complete around, will carry any budding poetry lover through childhood and beyond. (Ages 5 to 11.)
The Random House Book of Poetry for Children CustomerReview
I have a few poetry anthologies for my kids (ages 2 and 4), and this anthology is my favorite. I have never been a huge poetry fan; with the exception of Shel Silverstein, most of what I remember reading in childhood/teenage years was "too deep" for me to appreciate at the time. But these poems are fun, easy to comprehend and thought provoking. This wide assortment of poems has been a great way to get my kids (and me) interested in poetry. Most of the poems have an associating illustration by Arnold Lobel, a Caldecott medal winner/honoree (Fables and Frog and Toad are Friends).
