The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Introducing Children to Poetry Favorite Poems Old & New

    I bought this book to introduce my daughter, who is homeschooling at 3rd grade level, to poetry. I had already looked at a number of poetry books at my local library, and this seemed perfect, as it had works by a wide number of poets, with various themes that would appeal to a child. I also thought that complexity of the verses was ideal, as most had fairly simple rhyming patterns and the vocabulary was accessible without being babyish. The book has so far been a great success, we read a poem each day, and we have already learned two by heart. I would recommend this book if you are looking for an introduction to traditional poetry for older children (8 years plus).

  • A Classic Treasury of Poems

    Helen Ferris' compilation is classic collection of poems for young people. This work is from before the political correctness era and might not be suitable for some parents. The seletions range from simple, catchy limericks to fairly mature works. They will hold the interest of a wide range of reading abilities. My mother used to read one out of this book before I went to sleep each night. I think she meant to read me to sleep but by-golly I stayed awake to hear the whole thing! I can still quote the "Willie" limericks from memory. 'Favorite Poems Old and New' is a terrific companion to the McGuffy's Readers or can be enjoyed just as it is. Happy reading!
