This book is an anthology compiled by former U.S. Children's Book Laureate J. Patrick Lewis and illustrated with photographs published by National Geographic.
Poetry from Langston Hughes, Kurt Vonnegut, D.H. Lawrence, e.e. cummings, and J. Patrick Lewis, of course, as well as Jack Prelutsky and Mary Ann Hoberman. This is not a predictable light-hearted collection for kids, but it will make your heart lighter. This is a collection that respects the intelligence and deep thinking of children with appreciation for stunning photography of the world around us.

A beautiful book in both words and pictures. Featuring poetry by some of the most talented writers including Emily Dickinson and Langston Hughes this book gives a look into the beauty of both poetry and nature. This book can be used to incorporate poetry and science together for all ages. From the mountains to the desert, hurricanes to avalanches and crickets and buffalo, this book gives a look into nature that anyone can appreciate.

Beautiful pictures! I love their selection of poetry as well. As far as a book of poetry goes, this is pretty fantastic! It is a great coffee table type book. ( )

I have to return this book today. I have horded it as long as I could. I tried reading it slow, I tried reading it fast, but what I love about poetry is that it demands that you read it at it's pace.
This book did me in. I do not know how I am going to read books with text in them. This book has poems by the classics and current poets. Yes, Robert Frost and Thoreau are in this book but they are not the stars. The star is the book designer, the graphic artist who took words on paper and working with the "editor" J Patrick Lewis allowed them to dance with photo's from National Geographic Archives.
This book left me breathless and speechless. Make sure you read the last page before you get to the reference section. And read the bonus poem on the back of the book jacket.

I have to buy this book. ( )
