When you learn a poem by heart, it becomes a part of you. You know it in your mind, in your mouth, in your ears, in your whole body. And best of all, you know it forever. With personal introductions by former Children's Poet Laureate Mary Ann Hoberman - as well as her own time-tested tips and tools for memorization and recitation - and vivid illustrations by Michael Emberley featuring his trademark wit and lively characters, Forget-Me-Nots includes more than 120 works from both classic and contemporary poets, from childhood favourites to lesser-known treasures. This anthology will inspire a love of learning poetry! “A treasure trove of the familiar and the fresh...A wonderful gift book for poetry lovers, but even children who have never considered learning a poem by heart will find much to love here.” - The Horn Book “Emberley's appealing illustrations brighten every page of this large-format book.
