In this sturdy anthology, poems by Edward Lear, Robert Louis Stevenson, and others are showcased in bright, varied, dynamic spreads. Purple flocking on the spine, spot gloss on the cover, and embossing throughout add some character to these oft-anthologized works. Bleck's illustrations, which strongly evoke classic Golden Books, are true to the spirit of the collection.
