Horn Book Review

This collection of primarily British and American poems includes the work of well-known poets, as well as poems from less common sources. Each poet's dates and country of origin are listed at the end of the book, rather than with the poems themselves. The black-and-white illustrations are heavy-handed. Ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
