From School Library Journal
Grade 3 Up?The 78 enduring poems included in this collection are particularly appealing to children, not only because of the subjects, but also because the poet's imagery is both simple and sophisticated, both realistic and fanciful. Elegantly subtle black-and-white pencil sketches are an additional delight, matching the mood and enticing browsers to sample yet another poem. Allen's illustrations are suffused with light, enhanced by delicate shadows; each reflects the gentle rhythms of nature. They range from romantically timeless landscapes to a striking study of the grass-parting, "narrow fellow" snake. Audiences of a wide variety of ages will respond to hearing these poems read aloud. Independent readers will enjoy the challenge of blending meaning with meter, while advanced readers will relish the discovery of additional interpretations.?Sarabeth Kalajian, Venice Public Library, FL

From Booklist
Gr. 4^-6. A new edition of a book published in 1934, this handsome volume presents Emily Dickinson's poetry to young people. Replacing the now-dated-looking line drawings in the earlier edition are softly shaded pencil drawings on nearly every spread. The gray-on-white illustrations accompany the words quietly, allowing readers to concentrate on the verse. Recommended to update poetry collections. Carolyn Phelan
