Poetry for Young People

This series is ideal for introducing children to the great poets! Not only are the selections wisely chosen with the interests of young readers in mind, but the illustrators perfectly complement the style of each poet. These are lovely art books!

This series is still in print. As of this writing, some of these are still awaiting publication. It seems likely that there will be more titles to come!
