Favorite Poems Old & New (Hardcover)

“Favorite Poems Old and New is a book of family poems. Those of us of an older generation will remember reading many of them around a fire on a winter’s evening or perhaps in summertime resting under a tree and having someone read them aloud to us. I hope that young people will keep this book available for frequent ‘dipping.’ Children are poets before they grow up and they should live with poems. I hope this book will encourage them to do so.” —Eleanor Roosevelt

Beloved and treasured for over 60 years, here is the only poetry collection your family needs—brimming with favorite, classic poems carefully selected to inspire young readers.

Over 700 classic and modern poems written by poets from William Shakespeare to J. R. R. Tolkien, Emily Dickinson to Langston Hughes, and covering a range of favorite topics—pets, playtime, family, nature, and nonsense—ensure that there’s a poem to please every child. A truly comprehensive collection that is the ideal way of introducing children to the joys of reading poetry.
