The editor of The Random House Book of Poetry for Children now fills a similar need for younger children with this sparkling collection of more than 200 poems for preschoolers who are outgrowing nursery rhymes. Full-color illustrations. \nFirst published in 1986 and just as fresh and relevant today, this widely acclaimed, child-friendly poetry anthology is now being reissued with a striking new jacket. In his introduction to this book Jim Trelease, bestselling author of The Read-Aloud Handbook, writes, No one better recognizes the essence of the child-poetry connection than poet and anthologist Jack Prelutsky. . . . Here are more than 200 little poems to feed little people with little attention spans to help both grow. Marc Brown's inviting illustrations add a visual dimension to the poems, which further engage young imaginations. The poems are by 119 of the best-known poets of the 20th century. \nThis book has been selected as a Common Core State Standards Text Exemplar (Grades K-1, Poetry) in Appendix B.\n
