{"product_id":"9781592701667","title":"Beastly Verse by Joohee Yoon","description":"Graphically exquisite and beautifully produced, this book of illustrated animal poems for children is a work of art in and of itself.Large and well-made, this book is made even more surprising by the addition of four gate-fold pages.This is a lot of beautiful book for the money and the selection of poems is superb and stronger than the few collections out there.As Ellen Handler Spitz wrote in a May 9th review of two picture books on Emily Dickinson for the NYTBR: \"In the daily lives of most American children today, poetry has gone missing. Almost entirely absent from elementary school curriculums, rarely chosen as bedtime reading by parents, poetry - formerly a joyful accouterment of youth, an inexhaustible gift - seems forgotten. Yet poetry and children belong together.\"POETRY AND CHILDREN BELONG TOGETHER.   Poets included in this book, among others: Lewis Carroll, William Blake, Robert Desnos, Hilaire Belloc, William Cowper, Christina Rossetti, and D.H. Lawrence.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303747563893,"sku":"9781592701667","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781592701667.jpg?v=1762794865","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781592701667","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
