XX [From the dust jacket] At storytime for the smallest members of the family, at any boy's or girl's reading hour, or whenever anyone, young or old, is in a mood to browse through the happy realm of childhood imagination, this is the book you will turn to. In this collection of poems are all the favorites that will be read again and again. You will find the familiar names of Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost, Rowena Bennett, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Burns, Joyce Kilmer, Edna St. Vincent Millay, A. A. Milne, Alfred Noyes—and dozens of others whose verse has become part of the world's great literary heritage. No other book can quite measure up to such a collection as this for its value to the whole family. Children will grow up with and will long remember these poems after the volume is worn from constant use. Parents will recapture the happiest moments of childhood as they read to their children poems they have known and loved since before they learned to read. And alwaysnew, refreshing experiences await the reader in these pages as he discovers poems he has not previously seen. Willy Pogåny's illustrations in full color and in black and white make this a beautiful edition for gift giving. XX Praise for MY POETRY BOOK: This very extensive anthology contains a rounded selection of poems under such heads as At Our House, When It's Time to Play, When It's Time to Go to Bed, Going Places, My Birds, My Flowers, My Trees, When It's Spring, and Summer, and Autumn, and Winter, and many others of like nature, for the child whose interests are ever growing. It's a joy to run through them, for there are many old favorites, and enough new—some unknown—to be very stimulating. There are more than thirty illustrations by Willy Pogåny, many of them in full color. It's a lovely book (Christian Science Monitor). XX Happy is the child who is helped to discover the magic music of words—poetry. The youngest and the oldest will find pleasure in My Poetry Book (Philadelphia Inquirer).
