Robert Louis Stevenson [J0419]

2000 HCDJ (9 X 10.5-inches) in Gift-Worthy condition. "A collection of 32 poems...A short introductory biography...gives an insightful glimpse into his life and how it influenced his poems....illustrations convey the poetic notion of a romantic childhood memory, with pink-cheeked children...Muted colors, rich with warm golden accents among the dominant green tone, are a peaceful accompaniment to the poems."--School Library Journal. "These poems...are colorfully illustrated and notable for their detailed brushstrokes of gentle colors. They interpret the verse in a style that is fanciful without looking too juvenile for a middle-grade audience. Younger children will find the poems and illustrations to their liking as well."--Booklist.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This was a great collection of Poetry for children. I thought all of the poems were very nicely done."; "Simply loved reading this book to my children. The illustrations are beautiful and the selections of poetry are delightful."; "Stevenson's poems are beautifully written and imaginative. His illustrator did an excellent job bringing Stevenson's poems to life to captivate young minds."
