Poetry by Heart: A Child's Book of Poems to Remember

Poetry by Heart: A Child's Book of Poems to Remember, edited by Liz Attenborough, encourages kids to find a poem for keeps. This lively collection includes a range of work from Roald Dahl, Emily Dickinson, Charlotte Zolotow and William Shakespeare, among others. A different artist illustrates each section, organized by themes such as ""Short and Sharp,"" ""Uplifting and Brave"" and ""Long and Lingering."" Britain's former poet laureate Andrew Motion provides the foreword. ( Sept.)
