Poetry for Kids: Robert Frost

Robert Frost is one of my favourite poets. Go to spoke for class and had to choose some of the poems to read and used for assignments. I haven't read poems by Robert Frost since high school so it was nice to revisit them. The packaging was awesome.

Gift

Our 6 year-old likes to read the poems and our 4 year-old likes the illustrations. :) Very cute intro to Robert Frost poetry for youngsters.

The book arrived in pristine condition. My husband is impressed with it. It came in a timely fashion. I am thankful this seller had the book at a price I could afford and in such excellent condition.

A must have for Robert Frost fans!!! Such a beautiful layout - the artwork & print is eye-catching! I will read these to my kids, realizing that although the pictures will get their attention, the poetry will need to be explained.

Gorgeous Book that is beautifully illustrationed. My kids will love this book, as we learn Frost's poetry. Such a lovely addition to our homeschool.

As a former teacher, a would-be poet, a now-and-then artist, and someone who enjoys buying books for her grandkids, I loved this book enough to order more copies. Jay Parini's introduction describes Frost's "sound of sense" as the "music of language in conversation." And the amazing illustrations of Michael Paraskevas convey the magic of color and form that Robert Frost's words have long painted in the our minds. This book should be on the shelves of all school libraries!

Beautifully illustrated, but the poems seem to be the same... about seasons... and a bit depressing. Purchased for 11 yr old; we read it together. Language is hard to understand even though words are defined for the reader.

I've loved Robert Frost's poems since we studied some of them in school back in the late 1960's. This book adds beautiful illustrations & a very short commentary on each poem. At a time when it seems that everything for children is being "dumbed down" this book really stands out. It has my absolute highest recommendation.

I love the poetry in it, and the illustrations are lovely.

I enjoy reading these, but for kids? Most of them are either too long or confusing for a 9y old.
