  These beautifully illustrated books, now reissued with all new 4-color covers, present the best of what's new in poetry, carefully chosen for children between the ages of 8 and 13. Many of the poems were written especially for these volumes, and among the poets included are Roald Dahl, Grace Nichols, Judith Viorst, Jack Prelutsky, David McCord. Foster provides a variety of themes with strong associations for children: from the fun and light-hearted (Vampires, Pets, and Holidays) to the provocative (One-Parent Families, Technology, and War). Drawings, cartoons and photographs--most in color--draw attention to every page.
