Side By Side: Poems to Read Together Description
Sprinkled throughout this cheery volume of familiar poems are pictures of people readinga lady in a straw hat reading to a toddler on an old-fashioned porch, a kangaroo reading to babies in her pouch. True to the title, the poems collected are perfect for reading side by side. There are story poems; counting rhymes; verses about seasons, holidays and animals. Every page is filled with Knight's rollicking watercolors of exuberant, bright-eyed children. What will ensure this book's popularity, however, is the inclusion of poems many parents and grandparents will remember, including "A Visit from St. Nicholas," "The Three Little Kittens" and "The House that Jack Built." Fun for all members of the family, this is both a nostalgia-filled and a living collection. Ages 6-up. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.

This review refers to the Hardcover edition of "Side by Side,Poems To Read Together".....
Lee Bennett Hopkins has put together a delightful collection of ageless poems and stories, for you to rediscover with your children or grandchildren. You will also find newer works that are sure to become classics some day.
Cuddle up with Mother Goose's "Wee Willie Winkie", Celebrate the arrival of Spring with Langston Hughes' "April Rain Song" or R.L. Stevenson's "Rain".Sing aloud with the kids to "Over the River and Through The Wood" by Lydia Maria Child,and have Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit From St. Nicholas" ready to read aloud on Christmas Eve.

I first borrowed this book from our local library because it was recommended for young children by Jim Trelease in his Read Aloud Handbook. My child is nearly 3 1/2 and reading these together became a favorite activity while nursing my younger one. We both enjoyed it so much and we were both so sad to return it I decided to buy a used copy here on Amazon.
All the poems are illustrated and of varying lengths. The illustrations are beautiful and colorful. They remind me of the great illustrations from books when I was a child.
Also, they are arranged by theme so that it starts with poems about Spring time and progresses into Summer and so forth. At the end are the bedtime themed poems. FYI: There are 2 halloween poems (but those aren't the only Autumn poems) and they talk about witches and ghosts although they are light-hearted and not creepy. There are also some Thanksgiving poems and the classic 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' among others.
My child enjoyed these fun poems so much she often quotes or acts them out.
This was just what I was hoping for.

Kidz will love this great anthology of wonderful poems. I grew up on poetry, and I know that my kidz will too.
