Perfect as a baby gift, a present for a new parent or grandparent, or a surprise for an emerging reader, Here's a Little Poem: A Very First Book of Poetry is a delightful collection of short poems gathered into themes such as "Me, Myself, and I" and "I Go Outside."  Renowned poets Jane Yolen and Andrew Fusek Peters collaborated in the selection of the poems, and Polly Dunbar created lively illustrations for each gem of word play.  Classics by such noted writers as Langston Hughes, A. A. Milne, and Margaret Wise Brown share space with newer works by favorite authors including Jack Prelutsky and Rosemary Wells.  While Here's a Little Poem is designed as a book to read-aloud to toddlers, the engaging illustrations and approachable text will encourage kids learning to read also.
