A stupendous collection of over 300 poems for the youngest, chosen by an inspired anthologist. A friendly wizard guides parents to choose the perfect poem for each occasion, and sets children searching for special phrases and images, and answering riddles. Like Orion's A YEAR FULL OF STORIES and READ ME A STORY, PLEASE, this is a great big value-packed book, beautifully thought out for its age group, gorgeously illustrated on every page with pictures full of child-appeal, and with imaginative extras that make it the ideal family purchase.
