1: A great poetry anthology for children
This is surely one of the very few, if not the only, books for which the illustrations existed before the text. David Booth selected the poems to "illustrate" the many beautiful original paintings by Michele Lemieux, an award-winning Canadian artist who is well known in Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Japan. David Booth is a famous educator in Canada and a widely sought speaker on preschool learning. The book is an excellent poetry anthology for the young and middle-aged child, as well as a good introudction to poetry for the older child who is unfamiliar or intimated by that literary form. Highly recommended. This book won the IODE Toronto Chapter Award. Frieda Ling
