Once Upon a Poem: Favorite Poems That Tell Stories

Some of today's best-known authors introduce their favorite verse in Once Upon a Poem: Favorite Poems That Tell Stories, a collection of 15 poems. Philip Pullman offers his thoughts on Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky and Mary Pope Osborne introduces Eugene Field's Wynken, Blynken, and Nod. Husband-and-wife teams Peter and Si n Bailey, and Carol Lawson and Chris McEwan lend their varied illustration styles to the pieces, with art ranging from the silly to the serene. A foreword by Kevin Crossley-Holland and a closing ""About the Writers"" section round out the collection nicely. .
