National Geographic Book of Nature Poetry: More than 200 Poems With Photographs That Float, Zoom, and Bloom! (NGK Poetry)

I LOVE this book. It has beautiful and interesting photographs from all over the world. The pictures alone are worth just thumbing through and gazing at. It makes me want to learn how to use my camera! Lol. The various poems by people from all over are an added bonus. The poems have varying degrees of length but none are super long. Many are from poets and well known authors. There’s nothing more than a page long. This book is appropriate for any age, little kid to grandparents. It is definitely a nice table book and would make a great gift for someone. It’s about 175 pages long and definitely worth the price paid.

Wonderful selections of nature poetry displayed with background of nature pictures. The poems, both old and new, familiar and until seen here, the unfamiliar are the kind to read and then take time to let them simmer and beatify your world. One of my favorites, strange as it may seem, "Wildfire"....a must read.

We purchased this as it was listed as the poetry book for our language arts homeschool curriculum, and we love it! The photos are beautiful and there is a u bu unique photo for every page! My kids get to pick which poems they want to memorize from a few different books, and they always go for the National Geographic Book of Nature Poetry every single time! Imo this book was worth every penny! We love it!

Just like all the other National Geographic books I've read, this book is SPECTACULAR! Seriously, the images are the beautiful quality you would expect from Nat Geo, and the poems are really lovely. My 9-year-old received it for Christmas, and she can't get enough of it.

Beautiful as it always is with National Geographic but if you’re looking for a good poetry book for you. I was pretty disappointed but we’re gonna keep the book anyway because of the pictures

What a great book! Okay, I may be a little biased because I have a poem in it, but then, I loved the first volume (about animals) and I didn't have a poem in that one. Whoever thought of pairing photos from the National Geographic archives with poetry for children is a genius. And then to pick J. Patrick Lewis to edit it! (He's the former Children's Poet Laureate of the United States.) The other thing I like about the collection is that it has more than 200 poems. Poetry collections for kids sometimes have only 14 or so poems, but this is a big book and a veritable feast. When I got my copy I sat down in my reading corner with a happy sigh, ready for a nice long stretch of good stuff. Plus it has poems in it by some of my favorite poetry people on cool topics like sailing stones and brinicles (I'm looking at you, Laura Salas!). The only thing left to say is ENJOY!

I teach 2nd grade and poetry does not come easy for me. This book is illustrated beautifully with photographs. The poetry comes alive with the pictures. I highly recommend it for teachers.

This is one book we are using for homeschool poetry this year (Charlotte Mason slant). It's gorgeous! The pictures are so incredible and the poems are a great collection. I'm so glad we bought this!

Purchased to accompany our literacy studies this year. Beautifully illustrated and a great selection of different types of poems to engage my students.

Educational poems with stunning pictures as expected from NG, a rare book for everyone, from very young children to adults

I LOVE this book! I read a few pages a day to my three month old, she gets a kick out of the bright photographs and I love the poetry! Some absolute classics in there, super pleased!

I love this beautiful book filled with poems about nature and stunning pictures.

Brilliant start for budding poets and for new nature loverd
