I have loved this book for over 50 years. I bought it while in college because I love poetry. As my children grew, I would read to them at bedtime from this book. I would sit on the floor between the boys room and the girls room to read their favorites then a new one each evening. When they were grown and began having families of their own, I searched on amazon to see if by some chance it was still in print. It was! I bought five copies, one for each of my children. It was shipped directly to each of them. My oldest son, who was working in the publishing industry at the time, made a derogatory remark about the dust jacket but his wife was startled when he shouted, "It's the bedtime book!" He called me and left a message on the answering machine when he knew I would not be home. He read the entire Belinda poem much to the amusement of his wife. This copy was a gift for a good friend who will be caring for her grandchildren for a month this fall.

This is a wonderful poetry book to have! It is full of SO MANY great poems. We borrowed it from the library but quickly realized we needed to purchase our own copy. There aren't many illustrations, but the few that there are are simple and beautiful. There are multiple indexes: titles, first lines, and authors. The poems are arranged by topic, as indicated in the Contents. My children love to flip through the book and find random new poems.

WHEN MY BROTHER AND I WERE LITTLE OUR MOM BOUGHT THIS SAME BOOK OF FAVORITE POEMS OLD AND NEW BUT THE COVER WAS BROWNISH GRAY. AND HAD A DRAWING OF A BOY AND GIRL READING AT THEIR SCHOOL DESKS, BUT IT HAS A BRAND NEW COVER THE ILLUSTRATES IN THE BOOK ARE THE SAME ALL THE POEMS ARE THE SAME. WE LOVED OUR FIRST COPY OF IT TO DEATH WE HAD READ AND LOVED AND ENJOYED IT SO MUCH THAT THE OUTSIDE COVERS CAME OFF THAT ALL THAT WAS LEFT WAS THE BYING AND PAGES . WE KEPT THAT BOOK FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS. AND I HAD BEEN WANTING TO BUY A NEW COPY I HAD SEEN IT IN THE OLD B ROWN COVER AT TWO LOCAL BOOK STORES BUT FORGOT TO BUY IT. I AM SO VERY HAPPY TO FINALLY HAVE A NEW COPY OF IT.

This book has a special place in my heart. It was the book from which my father read to me as a child. I have bought this book for each of my own two children, and it is my go-to gift for new parents. This book contains everything from Ogden Nash, to Lewis Carroll, to Robert Frost, to HW Longfellow, to William Blake, and everything in between. It's the kind of book that will last a lifetime - with poems appropriate for the youngest child, to the oldest adult. It's a great and wonderful book.
