The beauty of this book is in the cut paper artwork by Ashley Bryan.

Anything that has anything to do with Ashley Bryan makes my heart pound. The illustrations are bold and beautiful! And I've ALWAYS loved the simplicity of Christina Rossetti's beautiful words, although there are a few poems in this collection that I'm not overly fond of....

Award-winning artist Ashley Bryan takes on the classic rhymes of Christina Rossetti with beautiful cut-paper illustrations. It's wonderful to think that Ashley Bryan is still doing magnificent work at ninety-five years of age.

You will undoubtedly recognize most of these poems...Who Has Seen the Wind?...If a Pig Wore a Wig...The Peacock Has a Score of Eyes...Kookoorookoo Kookoorookoo...I Dreamt I Caught a Little Owl....

Beautiful work.

Not one of my favorite poets, although they are good. The illustrations are amazing.
