Favorite Poems Old and New is a collection of over seven hundred classic and even modern poems. The groups of poems are collected by students' interests such as family, pets, and playing. These poems are of a wide variety of length and cleverness. Some are funny and playful stories with some are more somber.
Leonard Weisgard created a lovely section of illustrations in the book although there are not illustrations throughout the book. Weisgard creates his illustrations by using pen and ink to create a black and white simplistic feel.
Favorite Poems Old and New is a classic anthology that is sectioned off to the reader's wants and interests. This would be a fun book to have in the classroom because it has eighteen different categories that are all aimed at the interests of children.
