Introduce children to the work of celebrated American poet Walt Whitman! Carefully chosen for kids, 35 illustrated poems are presented and explained by New York University professor Karen Karbenier, PhD, a Whitman expert. Walt Whitman includes enlightening commentary for each poem, definitions of key words, and a foreword by the expert. Vibrant illustrations invigorate the poetry. Starting off with "I Hear America Singing," the collection includes excerpts from "Song of Myself," "O Captain! My Captain!", poems from Leaves of Grass, and many more thought-provoking, descriptive, and kid-friendly selections.

Poetry for Kids: Walt Whitman introduces young readers to one of America's greatest poets. There are four sections, devoted to different aspects of Whitman's life and works. Each section defines unusual or uncommon words for the reader. At the end is a section with brief explanations of each poem or poem excerpt. Adding to the atmosphere of the book are colourful pictures on every page, with Walt himself wandering the pages.
