Child's Garden of Verses

This children's classic includes sixty-six poems that recall the joys of the author's own childhood experiences and imagination. Timeless by capturing with vivid images many universals for the young, these poems celebrate and explore the emotions of small people and their daily lives that make up the essence of childhood. Stevenson's cadences, rhythms, and rhymes have captured generations of children and these simple but delightful poems have a way of sticking with you even well into adulthood. From sailing boats down a river to sailing off to foreign lands, Tasha Tudor's watercolor paintings in this edition complement the poems by evoking a simpler time gone by and celebrate two things she loves most—children and nature. This book is a great daily read for children and an excellent entrance to the path of loving poetry!
