Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-8. Jamaican writer James Berry has gathered a lot of old, mainly British, favorites that still speak to kids--from Blake and Wordsworth to Lawrence and Lear--and has added some rich voices usually excluded from the "literary canon that emphasized only white people's experiences." The poems are loosely organized by theme, so Sitting Bull is side by side with Kipling and Shakespeare, and an African dirge from Lesotho is with "Morte d' Arthur." The glossy full-color paintings are intrusive (who needs an illustration with Hughes' wonderful poem "The Jaguar" ?), but the line drawings and spacious type will encourage kids to browse and stay and read aloud. Teachers and librarians will find this especially useful as a gathering of the old and the new. Hazel Rochman

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8?Berry has selected 138 poems that represent a wide variety of voices and organized them by subject. Poets range from Shakespeare to Wordsworth and from Anne Sexton to Shel Silverstein. He includes Native American poems as well as selections from Africa, India, and his native Jamaica. Some sections, such as those on animals ("Varied Bodies, Varied Means"), humor ("Lighthearted Happenings"), and love ("Faces of Love"), are typical of the arrangement of poetry collections. Other groupings, such as "Not Havings, Longings, and Endings" and "Folks' Wise Talk and Inspiration," are more unusual. Small line drawings and 16 full-color paintings by various artists are interspersed throughout. A fine volume for read-aloud programs and where librarians are encouraging young people to savor the language of poetry.?Barbara Chatton, College of Education, University of Wyoming, Laramie

Format:Taschenbuch
This is a great selection of poems. James Berry is a poet and has a poet's ear for language. "To Be Read Aloud" is the key to the title. Open the book. Pick a poem and speak the words into the air. Read them to someone you love, young or old. Treat yourself to a poetry reading, by you, for you. This is not lightweight poetry; Yeats and Eliot are not your usual "Children's Poetry". There are classics that children love, such as "The Owl and the Pussycat," but it's not the second-rate poetry that is often pawned off on children who don't know better. If you would like your children to "know better" poetry, this anthology is full of first-rate examples.

Most Amazing Collection of Poetry....ever!
22. Februar 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I have given this book as a gift perhaps eight times now. It is without a doubt the most amazing collection of poetry...old and new, joyful and sad, silly and profound...that I have ever seen collected under one cover. I've taught English for 30 years and it still remains my favorite. It may appear to somehow be poems for children, but it is poetry for our entire lives. I love this book....

For More than Just Young Children
14. Mai 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
We bought this in the children's section of our local bookstore, but the poetry in the book is aimed at a much broader audience. That's a plus for us -- it means I can read "Adventures of Isabel" and "It's Dark in Here" to the children and follow it up with "The Beautiful" and "A Prayer in Spring." The selections range from Silverstein to Blake to Frost to Wordsworth. All in all, they are well selected, both for their subject matter and their musicality. It's quickly becoming a family favorite.
