What reviewers said
"Favorite Poems Old and New is a book of family poems. Those of us of an older generation will remember reading many of them around a fire on a winter's evening or perhaps in summertime resting under a tree and having someone read them aloud to us. I hope that young people will keep this book available for frequent 'dipping.' Children are poets before they grow up and they should live with poems. I hope this book will encourage them to do so."
