This is a collection of poems for children illustrated by Caldecott Medal artists. They are divided into theme sections, each illustrated by a different artist - weather, spooky poems, story poems, animals, spirits, nonsense poems, haiku poems, and thoughts and feelings. The poems range from ancient to contemporary and poets include Robert Louis Stevenson, Emily Dickinson, Edward Lear and Ogden Nash.

An updated collection of the originally-titled “Poems Children Will Sit Still For: a Selection for the Primary Grades” with Caldecott Medal winning-artists illustrating each section:

“Fun with Rhymes” illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman
“Mostly Weather” illustrated by Marcia Brown
“Spooky Poems” illustrated by Margot Zemach
“Story Poems” illustrated by Maurice Sendak
“Mostly Animals” illustrated by Arnold Lobel
“Mostly People” illustrated by Marc Simont
“Mostly Nonsense” illustrated by Richard Egielski
“Seeing, Feeling, Thinking” illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon
“In a Few Words” illustrated by Marcia Brown

The poems run the gamut from silly to intriguing; Pauline Clarke’s “My Name Is . . .” is sure to delight young readers with its silly names like Sluggery-wuggery, Jiggery-pokery, and Riddle-me-re while Robert Frost’s classic “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” will evoke thoughts of snowy days and winter woods. Some, like Langston Hughes’s “Winter Moon” or Carl Sandberg’s “Arithmetic” will be instantly recognizable to readers; others, like Karla Kuskin’s “I Have a Lion” or Richard Armour’s “Pachycephalosaurus” are sure to become a young reader’s new-found favorites.

Read it [aloud, please] for the words and the rhymes, explore the pictures . . . this is a book to return to again and again and again.

Several indexes follow the poems: Index of Titles, Index of First Lines, Index of Authors; a brief piece about each of the illustrators is also included.

Highly recommended.
