Review "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 winters 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"If your children think they dont like poetry, expose them to this collection . . . and I defy them to resist its magic."—Kirkus"A fine book for parents to read aloud to their children."—Library Journal"This volume stands out for the comprehensiveness of its selection."—The Horn Book Review Quote "Among this abundance of funny poems, serious poems, story poems, poetic prose from the Bible, parents will find almost all those they want to share with their children.
