| Synopsis An anthology of poems celebrating poetry's ability to connect us like family. Over 100 poems hand-selected by Caroline Kennedy fill this entrancing volume, which overflows with a splendid variety of poets, from venerable classics--such as William Blake and Robert Frost--to beloved children's writers like A.A. Milne and Jack Prelutsky. Other poets included are William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Carl Sandberg, and William Wordsworth; there are even two poems written by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Organized by topic (for example "Animals," "Bedtime," and "That's So Silly!"), the book is accompanied by the editor's commentary introducing each section, as well as by lush, delightful watercolors by Jon J. Muth. Caroline Kennedy's previous book is THE BEST-LOVED POEMS OF JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS. Named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Children's Books of 2005.
