Reviews
Amovingly illustrated selection of Frost’s verse. In this newest in the Poetry for Kids series, illustrator Paraskevas and novelist, poet, and biographer Parini (Robert Frost: A Life, 2000, etc.) serve up the work of Robert Frost. All of the poems selected highlight Frost’s thematic use of weather and nature, the transition of the seasons to, as Parini says in his introduction, “deliver a nugget of truth that stays with you long after you put the poem down.”
