“Here is a book to dream on.  A noted English anthologist has assembled a sumptuous collection of poetry for young readers.
Appropriately the book begins with lyrics and poems about music, but the heart of a poet knows many different moments and moods.  There are also poems of places, poems of seasons, poems of travels, and those that speak of distant times and adventures.  One section is devoted to animal poems.”
