Poetry for everyone

This book is an absolute gem. The poems included are perfect for reading aloud to young children. The themes have universal appeal: cuddling in bed together, having to finish dinner (yuck) before eating dessert, nap time, burned toast on Mother's Day. The tone ranges from whimsical to wistful, never veering into condescending cuteness or self-important cleverness. The range of styles and topics is impressive--and guaranteed to hold the interest of little ones. The lush, colorful illustrations are a perfect complement to the poems. This is a truly beautiful book. Don't take my word for it, though. The experts--my kids, aged two through seven--love it too. See also "Daddy Poems," by the same author/compiler.

Mommy Poems

This is a companion addition to last year's Daddy Poems. I enjoyed this volume more. In this anthology, there are more poems by famous poets in a variety of styles. Everyone should find something that speaks to them. Not only are the poems better, I like the illustrations better. They are more brightly colored and pleasing.
