I bought this childrens classic to read with my boy, and he loves it, but what really surprised me was the beauty and grace of the quieter, nature poems that I had found so boring as a kid. I still love my childhood favourites which I remember by the lines rather than their titles (e.g. Halfway up the stairs, James James, Morrison Morrison, Lines and Squares, I do like a little bit of butter to my bread, they hadnt got a rabbit, not anywhere there, Theyre changing guard at Buckingham Palace, 'hush, hush, whisper who dares' etc ).
