Sung Under The Silver Umbrella Hardcover – January 1, 1966 by Literature Committee of the Association for Childhood Education (Author), Dorothy P Lathrop (Illustrator)
Here is a poetry anthology which is different - a fine collection of verse old and new, poems selected because children themselves have liked them.
They are jolly jingles from folklore and sprightly modern poets; fine poems be Christina Rosetti, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Blake and many other great writers; verses by well-known poets as Walter de la Mare, Robert Frost, Rachel Field, Vachel Lindsay and others less famous - all of them favorites of children.
Long poems, short ones, gay ones, serious ones - all strike some responsive note when read to or by little children.
