"Until this century, most children's poetry was either syrupy sweet or overblown and didactic, and tended to talk down to its readers. Contemporary children's poets have thrown all that condescension and moralizing out the window, and write with today's real child in mind."
- from the Introduction by Jack Prelutsky

Here in one gloriously illustrated volume are 211 wonderful poems that represent the best this century has to offer. From sibling rivalry, school, monsters, food, and just plain silliness, to such ageless themes as the seasons, Who am I?, and the many moods of childhood, this is a collection that begs to be read aloud and shared with the whole family. The poems, from every decade of this century, showcase 137 famous poets.

Selected by Jack Prelutsky, America's leading children's poet, and illustrated by award-winning watercolorist Meilo So, this useful and beautiful gift is a splendid way to end the century -- or start a new one. Truly a book that families will cherish long after the millennium excitement is over, The 20th-Century Children's Poetry Treasury is a joyous companion volume to the best-selling The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury.

This book has been selected as a Common Core State Standards Text Exemplar (Grades K-1, 2-3, Poetry) in Appendix B.

自己看的，孩子不懂，收藏的！

书的质量很好，快递也很快，挺满意。

This is a great gift to kids (and adults) that like playing with words. Jack Prelutsky has compiled some of the best poetry of the 20th Century. His aim is true. There are no clunkers in this anthology. The poetry covers the broad range from wistful to joyful, with imagination to spare.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the illustrations by Meilo So. They gorgeously illustrate the gist of many poems. Just like the poems, the paintings drip with imagination and wonder.
Some people may frown at spoon-feeding images, rather than letting the child make up his/her own. They may have a point, yet you can always discuss the images with the kid, decide whether they properly frame the poems and/or discuss what other images would have been better. In other words, these illustrations can be used a spring board for further imaginative work.
All in all, I highly recommend this book.

My five year old and I enjoy this book very much. Since poetry was such an enjoyable part of my own childhood I wanted to find a special selection for her as well. This one really fits the bill and we turn to it regularly at bedtime. The poems are organized loosely by theme on the various pages: food poems, animals, noises, summer, faces, and etc etc. Many of the poems are really funny and have wonderful sounds, rhythms and topics that speak to the child's inner poet. For instance, the Hippopotamustn't, a poem by a child with a cold, and a circular poem that goes around and around on the page are some of my daughter's favorites which she herself has partially memorized and asks for with enthusiasm.

Some of the criticisms I read in these reviews are of the illustrations and that it has a smaller number of poems than some anthologies. Personally I like the illustrations. They are very colorful and loose and take equal billing on the page with the words. They help keep my child's imagination rolling through the many poems on the page. I also find the number of poems more than sufficient for our needs. There is a huge range of subjects and so far, every time we have ever said "I wonder if there's a poem about X--" when we go to the index, sure enough there is a poem with that exact name.

We are still discovering new poems.

This is a great way to introduce poetry to your kids. I'll admit, when I was younger, I thought of poetry as something only old people wrote and read. This collection makes poetry fun (and well, not old!). I don't feel like I'm reading a textbook to my preschool aged kids, as I have felt with other anthologies. It includes both classic and modern poetry representing a broad range of poetry styles. There are fun and bright illustrations on every page. I like the selections from this collection as much as the selections in Jack Prelutsky's other anthology, The Random House Book of Poetry for Children. A few things that make these collections different from one another is that this collection is shorter and the illustrations are different (both books have great illustrations that are totally different styles, but these illustrations are more colorful). My family has both this book and the above mentioned Random House collection and they are equally loved!

I bought this book so my 7 year old and I could read kid-level poetry. The poems are entertaining, provide a good challenge for young readers, and fun for both of us. Because poetry is usually rhythmic, I use this book to help my daughter concentrate on each word and not skip any.

For years I have given books, inscribed with the date and occasion, to children in the hopes that they will enjoy reading them for years. For a recent baby shower I chose The 20th Century Children's Poetry Treasury since it contains both traditional and contemporary poems. In addition it is very colorful. The young mother who received it was delighted.
