Review: Best Children's Poetry - I bought this book as a gift to a friend who just had a baby. I was raised with these poems read to me for as long as I can remember. The writing, by Robert Louis Stevenson, basically is literature for children. You can't go wrong with this book. My friend is French but fluent in English. She is raising her daughter using English only so I thought this would a be a wonderful book for her. She loved it and is already reading it to her baby. There are so many children's books but so few that are written so beautifully. It's one of my most beloved books and I love sharing it as baby gifts for my friends. Review: Beyond third rock from the sun happy, Five of the brightest stars in the Milky Way! - This book was purchased as a gift for the children of my neighbor's family as I neededt to find a good home for many old books of my now grown children. This book was one of several I was unable to part with, so I was thankful to have received it in like new condition. The pages were not even yellowed with time, as mine is! I was so thrilled to be able to give this beautiful book to my neighbor for her precious grandchildren for their parents to read to them as if it were brand new, to hear the wonderful message of its lovely poems and delight in the sensitive renderings of ithe artist for the very first time in their sweet lives! A total winner!!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 631 Reviews | ## Images ![A Child's Garden of Verses: Illustrated - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qVOiTYiKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Children's Poetry *by C***. on October 11, 2023* I bought this book as a gift to a friend who just had a baby.

A total winner!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ charmingly illustrated edition of a timeless classic *by K***M on February 27, 2018* A Child's Garden of Verses is a childhood staple that should be in every child's home library. I purchased the hardback illustrated by Gyo Fujikawa, one of my favorite children's illustrators. The book is large and the illustrations are charming. There are a variety of full color and black and white illustrations. The poor reviews for the paperback version of this book made me nervous, but don't worry about ordering this hardbound Gyo Fujikawa illustrated edition. I ordered it for my niece's birthday and can't wait to give it to her! My own kids are begging to read it before it gets gifted :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/215809298-a-childs-garden-of-verses-illustrated](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/215809298-a-childs-garden-of-verses-illustrated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
