Poetry for young people

Summary

A collection of poems about the four seasons by one of best-known American poets. "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."
