A cute and comforting little collection of popular poems. Some, for me, more enjoyable than others but I think this is inevitable. Of course, I was drawn to the poems I already know and love, so I read those first, but I did end up reading this cover to cover.
The first poem, 'The Fairies', really set it up for me. I read it and got all giddy because I loved the way it rhymed and how the rhythm bounced over the words. I would sit and list all of my favourites of the collection, but we would be here forever.
The reason for the three star rating is that: 1. like I said, I didn't like every single poem (though I think it would be impossible for me to) and 2. I would have been happier if there were some more diverse authors in there. It did seem to be mostly white men.
Nevertheless, enjoyable, and I appreciate Osborne's choices <3
