A Child's Garden of Verses [平装]

The highest standards in editing and production have been applied to the Wordsworth Children's Classics, while the low price makes them affordable for everyone. Wordsworth's list covers a range of the best-loved stories for children, from nursery tales, classic fables, and fairy tales to stories that will appeal to older children and adults alike. Many of these volumes have contemporary illustrations, and while they are ideal for shared family reading, their attractive format will also encourage children to read for themselves. Like all Wordsworth Editions, these children's books represent unbeatable value.

Amazon.com Review
Tasha Tudor--illustrator of more than 70 books for children--is known for her charming drawings of children and animals; delicate, flower-filled borders; and delightful settings from days gone by. In this edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's venerated volume of children's poems, Tudor's old-fashioned illustrations perfectly complement the poetry that has survived a century in print. Here is a comfortable world of sunny gardens and storybooks, where children play with toy soldiers and imaginary friends. You may remember some of these poems from your own childhood, such as "My Shadow," "The Swing," and "The Land of Counterpane." If time is any judge, this garden of delights will stay a perennial favorite. (Ages 4 to adult) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 4-Goode applies her characteristically charming illustrations to Stevenson's poems with appealing results. She captures the exuberance of childhood in many pictures, such as those for "Rain" and "My Shadow." Other depictions are appropriately whimsical and dreamlike, as for "The Land of Nod," in which a sleepy child floats among animal-shaped clouds. The only drawback to the book is the stereotypical depiction of children playing Indian in the poem "The Gardener." While one can't fault the author for his 19th-century perspective, it is the 20th-century illustrator's decision on what parts of the poem to select and depict. The collection is well designed, with a generous amount of white space, varied one- and two-page spreads, and alternating black-and-white with full-color illustrations. The endpapers are reminiscent of the decorative floral wallpaper of a nursery. Children of both genders and mixed races are depicted in 19th-century clothing. Overall, an attractive interpretation of these classic verses.

-- Table of Poems from Poem Finder®

From the sales point of view, this is a good buy. A lot for the money in a complete collection of the perennially popular poems, with numerous colored pictures and quantities of blacks and whites. Critically speaking, the art work is somewhat sentimental and dated, but the Mother Goose in the same vein outsells all others, and this is aimed at the same level of market.
