(Paperback - 1st American ed)
The two hundred fifty poems in this collection deal with contemporary issues that speak directly to today's children. Though many of the poems are British in tone, they work well on this side of the Atlantic. Aimed at a more sophisticated audience, this is a fine anthology for English-speaking readers everywhere.
An illustrated collection of poems, ballads, limericks, riddles in rhyme, and nonsense verse.
