A 2018 Notable Poetry Book for Children (National Council of Teachers of English)

Poetry for Kids: Robert Frost is a collection specially curated for young readers which won't just be read, but consumed, experienced, and treasured for a lifetime.

Whether capturing a cold New England winter's evening, or the beauty of an old, abandoned house, four-time Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Robert Frost left an indelible mark on our consciousness. This stunning celebration of his best-loved work includes 35 poems specially chosen for children ages 8 to 14 by author and historian Jay Parini.

Illustrator Michael Paraskevas brings the poems to life with his pitch-perfect scenes, infused with majestic color and quiet simplicity. Poems include "Mending Wall," "Birches," "The Road Not Taken," "Fire and Ice," and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,"

This collection is the perfect introduction for young readers. In addition to a carefully chosen line-up of poems, Poetry for Kids: Robert Frost also includes commentary and definitions of key words for each poem, and an introduction to Frost's life.

Named one of Bank Street College of Education's Best Children's Books of the Year, 2018!

Industry Reviews

"A movingly illustrated selection of Frost's verse....Children will devour these suggestive illustrations as instructors help them unpack the many lessons to be gleaned from Frost's conversational yet complex verse." * Kirkus Reviews *
"Paraskevas's atmospheric paintings evoke themes of seasons, nature, selfhood, and change. With deceptively simple imagery, Frost's work is accessible to younger readers..." * Publishers Weekly *
A 2018 Notable Poetry Book for Children * National Council of Teachers of English *
"This beautifully illustrated book contains a selection of 35 poems by Robert Frost.....This is a lovely addition to a poetry collection for middle grade students to introduce some of the better known works of Robert Frost and, perhaps, spark an interest in looking for additional books or information. Recommended" * School Library Connection *
