Dear Friends,

As some of you may know, I collect poetry anthologies for children. Here's a list of some of my favorites. Please comment and feel free to add some of your favorite titles.

These are anthologies of poems by various poets, not collections by individual poets.

The exception, of course, is Robert Louis Stevenson. ;-)

    A Child's Garden of Verses (1885)
    Mother Goose Alphabet Rhymes and Jingles (1899)
    Mother Goose Rhymes and Melodies (1910)
    The Real Mother Goose (1916)
    Children All Year in Verse and Picture (1927)
    Childcraft Poems of Early Childhood (1954)
    The Golden Books Family Treasury of Poetry (1959)
    Read Me A Poem (1965)
    Looking In and Other Poems (1968)
    Listen Children Listen (1972)
