A Treasury of Children's Poetry

Poems can purr. Poems can fly. Poems can sing, poems can dance - poems can tell about life, and about you. Here is a collection of whimsical verse for children, written by classic and contemporary authors from Edward Lear to Carl Sandburg, and from Christina Rossetti to e. e. Cummings. This fresh and funny book offers uncommonly original poems and nonsensical rhymes for all children. This smart assortment of Miniature Editions "TM" is available only in Britain. From the joys and agonies of cricket to a jolly fable of rhyming slang, these little books are favorites in the trade.
