[Lady reading under the Willow · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read this to E at age 5. It was a mixed bag; some famous classic poems, a few somewhat obscure ones, as well as humorous and/or slightly unsettling selections.

Our first time through, it was not a big hit, but six months later, she liked it better (I, perhaps, liked it less, however). There are other poetry compilations I prefer, but this was fine.

Nice anthology with good illustrations.
