From the original foreword- “From time to time a letter from Mrs. Newsome has come to me, always with a little poem, and from time to time I have discovered other poems of hers, in the pages of anthologies and newspapers, and always they gave me such pleasure that I was happy to learn that her verse was to be presented in a book. She has written it especially for children, but it will have charm and significance for grown-ups. The spirit of kindness, of gentle insight, and of quiet understanding underlies even the gayest of her fantasies. I feel that she makes a very real contribution, not only to verse for children but to the spirit of our time.”—Mary Hastings Bradley.This edition is presented with all 77 of the original illustrations.

Poetry is fine, formatting not great

Poetry is fine, formatting not great
The poetry is fine, the formatting is not great. Weird punctuation and random letters. Poems that have one stanza on the next page that could have been prevented. All in all just looks cheap.

These poems are fun and engaging! My kids love to choose the category so I appreciate that the category index is in the front of the book. We read a couple of poems before bed but you could easily incorporate these into a homeschool lesson. Wonderful introduction to poetry for children.

I have been keeping this book by my desk and read a few poems as I'm waiting for people to sign into Zoom meetings... and it never fails to make me smile. These poems are absolutely delightful!
