Nibble Nibble (Young Scott Books)

Rating:
Summary: A collection of mixed quality
Review: A collection of 25 poems for younger children in a relatively short book (pages are not numbered). The poems are of varying lengths and mixed quality. The illustrations are large and well drawn, but lack the bright colors which would have made them more interesting. Overall, it will provide some good selections for reading to children.

Summary: Teachers' Delight
Review: A truely wonderful collection of children's poetry covering all seasons. I used many selections with my third graders. Very helpful in the classroom. Poetry that uses lots of imagery.

Summary: From one generation to the next
Review: I am a 33 year old mom and my mom (now Oma) gave me this book when I was just 3 and now I read the same weathered copy to my 2 1/2 year old son. I find the Earth centered themes and poetic text very moving and my son loves the poems about the varying animals. While it is true that the art is not bright and "Disney-fied" this book and it's poems have a timeless quality and should be enjoyed exactly as it is. We just bought the reissued copy to give as gift, we love it so much.
