Description
Artist Judy Mastrangelo's magical and colorful paintings beautifully bring to life this collection of famous and beloved poetry, written by great poets of the past. Here are a few of her favorite poems she has chosen to illustrate for this enchanting anthology:
From Robert Louis Stevenson's volume "A Child's Garden of Verses", you can have fun flying up in the air with "The Swing", and looking for tiny Garden Fairies in his poem "The Flowers". Eugene Field, known as "The Poet of Childhood", recounts a comical "Duel" of the whimsical Gingham Dog and Calico Cat. And his lovely "Rock-a-By Lady from Hushaby street" takes us to visit her wondrous Land of Dreams. Joyce Kilmer expresses the beauty of "Trees" who wear "a nest of robins in their hair" in his celebrated poem. You will recognize the popular lines "All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small", in the poem by Cecil Frances Alexander. The funny "Three Little Kittens" will give you a chuckle as they search for their mittens, and you will marvel at the beauty of the "road from earth to sky" in "The Rainbow", by Christina Rossetti. The poem "Toyland", written by Glen MacDonough, contains the familiar verse "Toyland, toyland, Little girl and boy land". Thiswas set to music for the charming operetta "Babes in Toyland" by Victor Herbert.
Judy has also included some of her own original poems that she wrote and illustrated, such as the "Graceful Swan Boat", in which you can sail away "to lands where dreams are born". From her series "Garden Gates", you will enjoy playing with children in the Buttercups, having a Foxglove Tea Party, marching in a Tulip Parade, and making a wish on a Water Lily Pond.
Both Children and Adults of all ages will delight in reading this engaging medley of poetry, as well as looking at Judy's captivating, detailed, and stunning artwork, which enhances and illustrates it so perfectly. In her "Poems To Dream On", she has created an endearing and tender book, which will be cherished by readers for many years to come.
