Review

"[Kennedy]...emphasizes the closeness wans warmth that comes from using poems to spark memories of times spent together as a family...Muth's luminous full-bleed watercolors suit the poems perfectly, evoking emotions and sometimes deepening understanding."

"From...[Caroline Kennedy's] thoughtful introduction and words of encouragement to children at the beginning of each section of carefully chosen poems to Muth's beautifully executed watercolors, this volume is a treasure."

"Providing stunning backdrops for these timeless works are Muth's richly textured watercolor paintings which capture with remarkable insight the spirit of each poem...This resonant volume deserves a permanet-and-prominent place on any family bookshelf."

Publisher's note

In this stellar follow-up to The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the author collects more than one hundred of her family's best-loved poems from all over the world, accompanied by beautiful watercolor illustrations.

Annotation

Over 100 poems hand-selected by Caroline Kennedy fill this entrancing volume, which overflows with a splendid variety of poets, from venerable classics--such as William Blake and Robert Frost--to beloved children's writers like A.A. Milne and Jack Prelutsky. Other poets included are William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Carl Sandberg, and William Wordsworth; there are even two poems written by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Organized by topic (for example "Animals," "Bedtime," and "That's So Silly!"), the book is accompanied by the editor's commentary introducing each section, as well as by lush, delightful watercolors by Jon J. Muth. Caroline Kennedy's previous book is THE BEST-LOVED POEMS OF JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS. Named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Children's Books of 2005.
