Publisher's Synopsis
Includes poems by Robert Frost, Tennyson, Emily Dickinson, and many more! Also contains a brief, child-friendly introduction to each poet. Favorites such as "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" and "Casey at the Bat" are here, as well as overlooked gems like "The Pobble Who Has No Toes" and A.A. Milne's "The King's Breakfast." Even struggling readers can experience the beauty of classic language by following along in the text and enjoying the gorgeous color paintings of central scenes as Jim Weiss reads. This illustrated book and Jim Weiss's audio version make the perfect combination: kids learn language and vocabulary when they follow along with the text and illustrations while listening to the audio performance. Jim's entertaining and literate audio tales make long car rides and rainy days a joy rather than a trial, and introduce children to the great stories and sophisticated language of the world's classics.
