I bought this book as a gift for a friend's children. I love the poems and the artwork. But more importantly, the kids love it, too!
lovely!

A lovely set of poems for children - almost all centered on nature (birds, bugs, mammals, weather & seasons) but also some that are on pets (cats, dogs, horse) and family & friends (birthday, mother, neighbors, staying overnight). Really neat collection with simple drawings throughout

Edited by Bernice E. Cullinana, I Heard a Bluebird Sing is a selection of poems by NCTE award-winning poet Aileen Fisher, whose work was first published in 1933 yet is timeless in its simplicity, wonder, and joy. Illustrated with delightful black-and-white sketches by Jennifer Emery, the poems comprising I Heard A Bluebird Sing were selected and recommended by children for their enjoyable, simple, read-aloud fun. "Who tells the little deer mouse/before the year is old/that she should wear a warmer coat/to shield her from the cold?/I'm glad that someone tells her/and she does as she is told."
