When a favorite aunt is reading to her favorite nephew (and she has her arm around him) she can read Shakespeare's sonnets or Milton's epic verse or T.S. Eliot's "Wasteland" and still hold-if not the child's attention, at least the child himself. In the classroom, as every teacher knows, it's different. Each of the 106 poems in this book was chosen with this difference in mind. They were chosen expressly for a teacher to read aloud to-and with-her class. Every selection invites the listeners' participation-vocal, physical, or emotional.
