review 1: Forget-Me-Nots: Poems to Learn by Heart is a contemporary and classic collection with over one hundred poems written from great authors with skill and aptitude. This work has been awarded the Poetry Foundation's Children's Poet Laureate. This book is intended for more advanced readers but there is something for everyone. The text encourages reading the poems by the heart to retain them in the mind and produce them through the mouth.The cover of the book contains artwork of an elephant and jovial children. This and other illustrations in the book help make the poems easy to relate to the themes and to remember. It is attractive and creates a relaxed environment. Though all the poems have different thematic presentations, they all share a common factor. They can be read and... more easily memorized both literary and in content. This aspect of these poems makes them suitable for young readers. This element is also seen in the arrangement of the poems from simple like and short poems to complex long poems.
