Four poems from "A Child's Garden of Verses" are given a colorful, contemporary look. Whether building a ship from chairs and pillows, making a city out of blocks, playing with toys on the bedspread, or sailing a toy boat down the river to an unknown destination, the delights of childhood - past and present - converge in Robert Louis Stevenson's timeless verse. Boldly illustrated by the inimitable Max Grover.
