These strongly visual poems are illustrated to tickle children's interest! Children of all ages will enjoy 95 contemporary and classic poems by 75 poets.

These poems are weighted toward subjects of interest to children: flashlights and chocolate, tree-climbing, art class, turning ten...
Of course, all poems are meant to be heard! Need inspiration? 50 of the poems are recorded, many read aloud by the poet. Includes index. Hardcover, 104 pages. CD, 58 tracks; run time 68:31. All ages; read aloud whenever possible.
