Beautiful edition of a classic
A Child's Garden of Verses has always been one of my favorite books, and over the years I've given dozens of copies of it as First Birthday presents to the new children in my life. This is the most beautiful edition I have ever seen of these beloved poems. The illustrations are wonderful! They're taken from numerous editions over the years, and they cover a variety of styles and time periods. ...

As an added bonus, you can view this or another calendar of your choice on the Web or receive it daily via E-mail. For someone who checks their E-mail first thing each morning as I do, reading the Bible verse and viewing the nature scene is a ...

Very Well Done
+ Patrick Madrid did a wonderful job. All scripture lovers should read this book. It's a good way to introduce someone who doesn't know much about scripture to God's Word. He gives you a lot of quotes to look-up in addition to the 150 verses. Very Well Done.

"A Child's Garden of Verses"
A Child's Garden of Verses stands the test of time. My friends and I all remember this book from childhood. I purchased three this Chrismas. The illustrations are delightful. Gyo Fujikawi has captured the poems exquisitely, especially "The Land of Counterpane".

A Great Compilation
I've always loved Ani's music and movies and the book Verses is no different. It's like reading her lyrics as poetry instead of hearing it as musical poetry. I even read "Self Evident" outloud to a friend who was blown away by it. This book is worth it and gives you a whole new outlook on her lyrics.

Awesome
I bought this book a couple yrs. ago when my daughter was around 3 going on 4. Every day she memorized a verse. It was incredible how a child that age learned to say john 3:16 in one day and the many other versus. She always would remind me to read the next verse & story each day. A true blessing.

Brilliant, but not an easy read
Gibreel Farishta, one of India's most famous movie stars, and Saladin Chamcha, the man of a thousand and one voices, find themselves the only survivors of the flight "Bostan" when it is hijacked and then blown to bits midair. As the story progresses, a halo of golden light forms around Gibreel giving him an angelic presence. Saladin, on the other hand, begins to grow horns, his feet turn to ...

Poetic Science
My son loves, loves this book. He makes me read it 2-3 times a day. He totally gets the humor. He knows that you are not suppose to stick metal into electrical things. The part about dinosaurs is funny, too. Every kid has to learn about the dinosaurs and I think the authors point is let's get a little bit more original. We've been filling their heads with every type of dinosaur. They know ...

More Plath/Hughes exploitation
"Your Own, Sylvia: A Verse Portrait of Sylvia Plath", is a book that should not have been written or published. The poetry itself is lame and lackluster, and doesn't do the subject any credit at all. Also, as a fan of Plath myself, I feel Plath, as well as her late husband, have been exploited in the literary far too much. How do you look into someone's marriage and make a verse story out of it? ...

A must-read for Catholics
When I was in college, I came every close to abandoning my Catholic faith because of Biblical arguments I was hearing from Evangelical friends which seemed very clear-cut and convincing. It was about two years and quite a few books later that I found a great many counter-arguments that were even more convincing. And so I remain a Catholic today - mostly due to Biblical evidence and logical ...

great little book
I am an instructor in the AARP Driver Safety Program. I talk about this book during class and have it in class for participants to look at. Imagine my surprise when a student stole my book! So I had to buy another one. The book gives the history of the Burma-Vita company and how they got started putting out Burma-Shave signs. All of the Burma-Shave signs they placed are listed in the back half of ...

Who knew?
Roald Dahl is certainly a premier storyteller, but who knew how much rhyme he used consistantly in his writing? The multiple artists that showcase his work in the great book enhance an already enhanced writer. These are fun to share in the classroom!

Just What I Ordered
Every family must have The Oxford Book of English Verse. Even if you don't like poetry, let your children and grandchildren decide for themselves. Other than the Bible, the words in this book are perhaps the most influential in the American culture. I bought this book in my school years, and have now purchased it for my grandchildren. From Chaucer to T.S. Eliot, and every influential ...

the heart of Neruda
This is a fabulous dual-language collection of some of the most sensual, passionate poems written in modern times. Whether he imagines himself as an insect making a journey "from your hips to your feet", traveling to distant places with his beloved by his side, or as a soldier who must leave but whose love will "go on singing until the end of life", Neruda writes with exquisite simplicity, and ...
