Summary:
Poetry can be fun-especially when we can read it, hear it, and
discover its many delights with the help of cartoon character
Professor Driscoll, delightful illustrations, and the poetry read
aloud on CD. This wide-ranging journey through the history and
highlights of the world's poetry covers everything from epics and
odes to nonsense verse and haikus, and is filled with examples of
every style. The multimedia package encourages children to listen,
read, and learn-and opens the door to a lifetime of appreciation of a
rich literary tradition. It painlessly introduces kids (and parents,
too) to the greatest poets in history, from Homer and Shakespeare to
Robert Frost and Ogden Nash-and provides excellent examples of their
work and commentary on what makes it so special. In short, this is a
galloping tour through poetic history loaded with all of our most
significant and beloved poems. In addition to charming illustrations
on every lively page, A CHILD'S INTRODUCTION TO POETRY contains a
full-length CD with wonderful renditions of the poems read by
professional actors.
