The Oxford Illustrated Book of American Children's Poems
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Oxford Univ Pr
- Publish date: 10/01/1999
From the 1787 New England Primer -- "Alphabet" -- the book spans two centuries to the 1990s with poems by Sandra Cisneros, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Janet S. Wong. Well-known American poets -- including Edgar Allan Poe, T.S. Eliot, Carl Sandburg, and Robert Frost -- are joined by lesser-known masters. Poems about holidays alternate with verses for recitation, nursery rhymes, poems for laughter, bedtime verses, scary poems, and animal poems. Multiculturalists will not be disappointed either -- from anonymous Native- and African-American poets we step forward through the ages to admire the talent of Langston Hughes, Sonja Sanchez, and Francisco X. Alarcon. Parents and teachers will delight in reading these poems aloud to their children and students.
