I'm convinced that hearing and reading poetry instills a love of language early on. These audio CDs are carefully curated classic poetry that encourage tasting and savoring classic poetry. Jim Weiss as narrator expertly conveys the way poems were intended: orally, and with style. Additional explanation introduces each author. Each CD is a treasure. A great way to teach metaphor and enjoyment of the beautiful sounds of poetry. Heroes, Horses, and Harvest Moons can be combined with the reader of the same name to enhance study.
