TCB Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 My dd13 has asked for a book of poetry for Christmas. I think she wants a collection of some of the better known poems. Does anyone have any recommendations, or can you point me in the direction of a thread discussing recommendations. I have tried searching but had no luck. I would like to get her a book that looks nice, etc so would probably prefer a hard back - don't know for sure. Thanks for any help with this.

Twigs Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The Top 500 Poems [Hardcover] I have this one - it's the most popular poems in anthologies (maybe not the best, but the most popular). You can check out the table of contents at the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The Caroline Kennedy one that came out recently is lovely - Poems to Learn By Heart. It's maybe aimed slightly younger, but the selection is nice - I enjoyed looking through it myself and it is mostly well-known and classic choices, all of them on the shorter end, since they're meant to be memorized, so nothing epic. And the illustrations by Jon Muth are pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
