Loved the illustrations by Tasha Tudor. Most of the poems were a hit, but some were not. A lovely introduction to poetry for kids.

رغم أن "ستيڤنسون" معروف بكتبه السوداوية والمعقدة كـ"جزيرة الكنز" و"الدكتور جيكل والسيد هايد" إلا أن هذا الكتاب مخالف تمامًا لذلك، يكتب "ستيڤنسون" أشعارًا يصور فيها لقطات من طفولته وطفولة جيله، ليس في محتواها أي شيء مدُهش لكنها ظريفة بالتأكيد، والأظرف كان رسومات "تاشا تيودور" التي زينت هذا الكتاب كاملًا؛ بحيث احتوت كل صفحة على رسمٍ يعكس موضوع الأبيات بجمالٍ لا يصدق! كانت من أظرف وأجمل مايكون، وقد أثار تأملها فيّ بهجة ومتعة محببة إلى قلبي.
على الرغم من كل ذلك، لم أنهِ قراءتها، ويعود السبب في ذلك لتوقعٍ مسبقٍ مني أنها ستكون غير ما كانت عليه فعلًا. لم أكرهها أبدًا، لكنها ليست ما أريد قراءته في الوقت الحالي، سأعود لها في المستقبل بإذن الله.

A beautiful, beautiful book. Someone gave it to my family (I think to my sister Jenny, to be exact) when I was quite young, and I can still remember the way some of the poems made me feel at age six or whatever. And Tasha Tudor's illustrations are, as always, beautiful and delightful.

Good collection, some formatting issues

Overall a good collection of children’s poems. Some of the latter are quite long and not quite as entertaining as the earlier ones. This edition has some formatting issues as well.
