This is a collection of poems for the beginning reader. It has various authors including Mother Goose. Some of the poems are lyical and some are concrete.

I don't really care for poems. However this book does have some of the famous childhood poems like Hot Crossed Buns and Hey Diddle Diddle. My kids like Hickory Dickory Dock. They were not too attached to the unfamilar ones, nor was I.

I could use this in the classroom during a poetry session. Since the poem seem to be simple, I may read them to the kids and ask them to draw me a picture of the poem. Maybe we could make our own poetry book for them to have a copy of. (As told by of course)
