I read this in one day. So it is pretty short. It's only 104 pages long. I normally hate poem books. Well, they are OK...but...I guess they just aren't exciting enough. Haha! This one had a couple story/poems in it and one of the stories was a poem but it didn't rhyme and I know some poems don't rhyme but it made it hard to read because they would split up the sentances. I don't know...you would just have to see. But my favorite poem of all was Paul Revere's ride. =)

I haven't completely finished this book yet, but I'm just loving Longfellow's poetry. I remember one poem "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" from my school days and snippets of others from the Anne of Green Gables movie. They are really, really lovely to read aloud, but some are just tragic!

Just catching up on some poetry that I never read as a kid. Quick and easy.

Poems that tell stories are fun. "Paul Revere's Ride," "Hiawatha," and "The Wreck of Hesperus" are all in this book - some of the best poems in American literature, in my opinion.
