I bought this collection of Emily Dickinson poems the week I found out I was pregnant with my youngest. Now she asks me to read from the book each night at bedtime. It's been a sweet joy to share these with her. I love the illustrations by Tasha Tudor that are paid with each season-themed poem.

"The Bee is not afraid of me.
I know the Butterfly.
The pretty people in the Woods
Receive me cordially —
The Brooks laugh louder when I come—
The Breezes madder play;
Wherefore mine eye thy silver mists,
Wherefore, Oh Summer's Day?" ( )

Hard to rate because it's clearly much more than ok" but *I* didn't particularly like it. I'm just not imaginative enough, or whatever, to appreciate Emily Dickinson's poetry, even though I do love Tudor's art. Ah well. Despite my low rating, I do recommend this to anyone interested in either artist." ( )
