Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening- This lovely book begins with its vellum-covered exterior muting the
finely drawn and colored illustrations of Ms. Jeffers. She has brought
the poem to life for youngsters by personifying the speaker as an
elderly gentleman with his horse and sleigh. The poem, inspired by the
beauty and quiet of a winter wood, has also inspired Ms. Jeffers as she
interprets Mr. Frost's now famous words with creatures and habitats of
seasonal beauty. Here is a wonderful way to introduce fine poetry to a
youngster or class, one that is sure to inspire further reading.
A Family of Poems - Caroline Kennedy has chosen a rich variety of Kennedy family favorite
poems to include in this priceless collection. With thoughtful personal
introductions written by Caroline herself, and beautiful new original
artwork by award-winning artist, Jon J Muth, this collection is sure to
become a family favorite for years to come.
These two lovely books are gifts to the library in honor of
Mildred Propst James , 4th grade teacher at Waynetown School 1960-1972
