Up the Hill and Down: Poems for the Very Young

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Allan Eitzen & Allan Eitzen. In this uneven collection of short rhyming poems for young children, Smith mixes old chestnuts with less well known pieces, producing a somewhat disarming mixture of novel and familiar verse. Like the poems themselves, some of the illustrations are animated and engaging, and some are rather humdrum.
