This book has a nice selection of Frost poems. Beautifully illustrated. Each poem has a short explanation to help the reader understand the poem’s theme. The poems are arranged by season making it a lovely book to read throughout the year.

Title: Poetry for Young People (First in 1994)
Author: Robert Frost
Illustrator: Henri Sorensen
3 Tags: Slow, Poetry, Reflective
Age Group: Older elementary, 7-12-year-olds, in my opinion
Summary: This author has an incredible way of using all of your senses to bring this book of poetry to life when you read it. You feel like you are transported right into the setting that the illustrations portray and the words talk about. Frost has crisp light words that transform the way you typically think about poetry. In this book designed for the younger generation, poetry is celebrated and beautiful. This is a great fun book to introduce children to the classics of poetry!
Review: This book is a very fun and lighthearted poetry book for older elementary. This book had a lot of thinking and slow reading involved to get the point across. This is a beautiful book though and I believe I would have it in my classroom for the strange vocabulary and imagery.

This is a wonderful book to teach children about poetry. It has the poems, beautiful pictures, and a small analysis of each poem. I really enjoyed reading it and I hope to use it when I become a teacher.
