What child's bookshelf is complete without a superbly illustrated collection of classic poems? This exquisitely produced anthology, which features embossed pages and flocking on the spine, will become a beloved family favourite. Featuring the most renowned creators of children's verse, it makes the perfect read-aloud and an ideal introduction to poetry's rhyme and rhythm. Kids will love listening to the imaginative words of Lewis Carroll ("How Doth the Little Crocodile?"); Kate Greenaway ("The Cats Have Come to Tea"); Edward Lear ("The Owl and the Pussycat"); Vachel Lindsay ("The Little Turtle"); and many others. As in the four previous "Treasury" titles, Linda Bleck's colourful artwork has a fresh, fun feel that will appeal to children.
