Reader Reviews for A Child's Garden of Verses: Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful Comment: I bought this book for my niece but when I received it, I sat down and couldnt help but ready many of the poems. They are sweet and lovely and the illustrations are colorful and captivating. I highly recommend this book. Customer Rating: Summary: A Child's Garden of Verses Comment: Although the art is different in this updated version it is still a timeless collection that should be in every child's selection of available reading material. Customer Rating: Summary: Artist rather than writer focus. Comment: I was distressed with how many of the poems from the original Garden of Verses had been eliminated. I was more interested in the writing and would have prefered all of the text from the original. Customer Rating: Summary: Children of any age love this book... Comment: We have been reading this book for over eight years to our boys (10 & 7). It was recommended by our beloved teacher of two year olds for a Mother/Mom little school program, she had been teaching for 18 years and said that the Tasha Tudor illustrations drew the children into being fascinated into listening to the poems. And the poems are about the adventures of a little boy. My boys each have their favorite poems and request having those read to them like little presents. At night, the older one has heard the poems so often, it's like sleep therapy...half way through "we built a ship upon the stairs all built of back bedroom chairs..." and he's out like a light. But, please for everyone's sake, get the Tasha Tudor version, it really is superior. Customer Rating: Summary: Lovely Book Comment: This is a perfect gift for a child. I remember some of the poems from my childhood, they are ageless. The illustrations are lovely, too.
