New favorite Poetry Book!


Forget-Me-Nots won an Parent’s Choice Award for children’s books recently. Silver medal.
YEAH Mary Ann and Michael. Another winning combination. I have already given several as gifts.... and one for ME, of course.  Miss you both -  deb
“The poems in this well-rounded children’s collection are chosen as“poems to learn by heart,” but they make for excellent read-alouds or silent reading as well. Editor Mary Ann Hoberman, a former Children’s Poet Laureate, groups modern and classic poetry into categories such as Delicious Dishes, Beautiful Beasts, and Happiness Is. There are poems for many moods and in many styles; some of them are from the genre of children’s poetry, while others are poems that appeal to children and adults alike. Each page is cheerfully illustrated by Michael Emberley in watercolors, pencil, and pastels. This is a great addition to a home or classroom library.”
