[Michael Fitzgerald · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fairly average anthology. No illustrations at all, unfortunately. There are a number of better options out there.

I thought this was a great book to use to pull poems from. The poems are divided into categories, and the book provides descriptions of both the categories, as well as some of the poems. Also, for some of the poems, it offers suggestions for use in classrooms. This seems very helpful and easy to use.
