A Pocketful of Stars: Poems About the Night

Rating:
Summary: Disappointed
Review: I was attracted to the concept, I have a four year old daughter who is beginning to really enjoy poetry, but very disappointed with the execution. Some of the poems are well over the head of a 4-5 year old (I found them very un-inspiring), and other poems my daughter will interupt to correct the grammer ("Then is when I does feel a dread, Then is when I does jump into me bed" - pg 13). This book could have been so much more. A definite don't buy (IMO). For the 4-5 year old age group try "The Dragons Are Singing Tonight", my daughter loves it.

Summary: Great for children
Review: My five year old son asked me to purchase this book after he heard it on his first sleep over. I read it and found it to be very well put together. I know some people moan about the grammer, but I think that it's cute. I highly reccomend this to anyone that has a 4 to 5 year old child. Its lovely.
