| We have borrowed this book several times from the library and I am ordering my own copy today. This has become one of my three year old's favorite bedtime books. Some of the poems are too long for her, and there are many I have to explain to her as we read. I'm buying the book because I anticipate that it is complex and interesting enough to hold her attention for some years to come. This book has a great selection of poetry and beautiful illustrations. I anticipate purchasing several copies in the future as gifts for friends and family. |

| Jon Muth's breathtaking paintings and Caroline Kennedy's choice of poems make this book a treasure for middle aged me, and children of all ages. |

| This book is a treasure. The art is light filled and the selections are very satisfying. Leave it to Caroline Kennedy to share her wealth with the rest of us in her tasteful way. |
| Less than perfect condition |

I planned to give this book as a gift, so "new condition" was important. When I received it, it did look perfect. Then I opened the front cover. On the inside page was a big inscription "Happy Chanukah from Grandpa Vic"...to my family" etc. That rendered it unusable for my use...and not mentioned in the pre-purchase information.
I ended up giving my own copy, which truly was in new condition, and keeping the inscripted version for myself. |
| A gift that keeps on giving |

Family of Poems, A
This s book of superb quality with the Kennedy family's best loved poems and superb water color illustrations for each one. The price is astoundingly low for such a lovely book. Over the past year or so, we must have ordered close to 20 to give as gifts, and each gift was warmly appreciated--especially the one that we gave to our host in Ireland. We also enjoy reading from ours to our grand kids. |
