This is a collection of poetry by Robert Frost, divided into seasons. Wonderful illustrations add so much beauty to the poems. Would use a selection(very big book, would not read all) for 3-5th graders in a poetry unit. (

This book is about Robert Frost's poetry, which includes lyrics, narrative, and dramatic poems. It's good for teaching different types of poetry, especially on a fall day. Kids can draw what they hear or what speaks to them while reading the poems. (

This book is a collection of poems by Robert Frost. Great poems, really enjoyed reading through some of them. I think that going through and choosing a few poems to read in class to early intermediate students would be great, maybe including an art project to go with one of the poems. Great for the fall time.

Use all your senses--not just your eyes--when you read Robert Frost's remarkable poems. Your own world will quickly melt away as Frost draws you into winter wonderlands, forests, and fields. More than twenty-five of the Pulitzer-Prize winner's best-loved poems are included, along with stunning illustrations, in this introduction to the work of one of America's greatest poets.

This book is recommended for intermediate students. This book depicts a collection of poems by Robert Frost that show the different seasons. In my future classroom, this book could be used to introduce rhyme schemes within poetry and for looking for deeper meaning within poems. (
