"In an attractive large-size volume...25 poems to introduce Robert Frost to young people. The selections are arranged by the seasons, and Sorensen's handsome watercolor illustrations capture the feel of the New England landscape without in any way trying to provide literal images for the poetry. There's an excellent biographical essay, and at the bottom of each page, Schmidt provides a brief note on some of the possible ways to read the lines....These nature poems show that poetry holds feelings and ideas that everyone can understand".-- "Booklist. "...superb; the poems introduced in a tone that is informative but not pedantic".-- "PW . "...satisfies in every way".-- "SLJ . "Include[s] both well-known favorites and those less often read or quoted. 'Mending Wall, ' 'Birches, ' 'The Road Not Taken' are essential Frost and all are here".-- "Quill & Quire . ". . . thoughtfully compiled and brilliantly illustrated".-- "Buzz Weekly . 48 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.
