Snuggle up with Winter poems such as, "A Patch of Old Snow" or "The Wood-Pile." Schmidt offers a brief explanation after each poem. This is an added feature to help young first-time poetry readers understand the poetry they are reading.

New Arrival

Brundibar is based on a Czech Opera of the same name. Brundibar is Czech slang for "bumblebee". With a libretto by Adolf Hoffmeister, set to music by Hans Krasa. Completed in 1938, the opera was performed fifty-five times by the children of Terezin, the Nazi concentration camp. Krasa, who was Jewish, was also imprisoned in Terezin. He was killed in Auschwitz in 1944.

You May Also Enjoy

You will find in this anthology so many of the well-known great poems--from Emily Dickinson's I'm Nobody! Who are You! to Caged Bird's Song by Maya Angelou. This is not a dry poetry book. These poems come alive as the meanings are explained by words and clever illustrations.

Jack Prelutsky has created in Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant a humorous collection of verses about an elephant whose trunk sports an umbrella, about armadillos whose tails are alarm clocks, and of ballpoint penguins. It is a book filled with clever rhyme and delightful pictures.
