Reviews

[Colleen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is appropriate from birth through primary. This is a collection of poems and prayers. There are various poets that are represented including, Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Cullen Bryant and many others. There is a diversity of religions represented in this collection. However, there is no diversity in the depiction of different ethnic groups. Out takes from different poems and prayers provide fodder for discussion. Due to the religious nature of the content, I would not use this book in a classroom setting. It is a charming book to be shared between family members, especially at bed time.
