Book Reviews of A Family of Poems: My Favorite Poetry for Children
Book Review: My Children Love This Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I am using this book with my five and six year olds, whom I homeschool and who are in kindergarten and first grade. We use this book both to study poetry and authors and for memorization selections. My children love this book! They look forward to poetry time and always ask me to read more than just the day's selected poem. They read the poetry book "just for fun." They love to recite their memorized selections to anyone who will listen. This book contains poems by famous poets such as Edna St. Vincent Millay and William Carlos Williams and also poems by people I have never heard of. There are poems of varying lengths, and the poems are loosely arranged by subject. The illustrations, by Jon J. Muth, are gorgeous. I think this is a wonderful introduction to poetry for children. It doesn't talk down to them and lets them see that poetry can be at once beautiful, silly, fun, and emotional. Most of all, it shows poetry to be accessible to children. Highly recommended!
