Joni Lucas (Children's Literature) Stevenson's poems and stories are American classics. Poems about rain, foreign lands, travel, windy nights, shadows, swings, cows, the moon and other fanciful things and places fill up this beautifully illustrated book of poems that would make a great gift for new parents. Tasha Tudor's watercolor illustrations help convey the historical flavor of Stevenson's work and conjure up images of simpler times for children. 1999 (orig. 1981), Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers, $18.00. Ages All.

In winter I get up at night and dress by yellow candle-light.
(Little Golden Books edition) A birdie with a yellow bill Hopped upon the window sill, Cocked his shining eye and said, "Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head!"
(Thomas Kinkade edition) Bring the comb and play upon it! Marching, here we come!
Quotations
It is very nice to think The world is full of meat and drink With little children saying grace In every Christian knd of place.
Last words
For, long ago, the truth to say, he has grown up and gone away, and it is but a child of air that lingers in the garden there.
