We started with Mother Goose. Right now, we're working our way through Shel Silverstein. I want to get Stevenson and Longfellow. But, dd has requested that we go to The Flower Fairy Poems when we're done with Silverstein. There are 6 books (we have a full compilation of all of them). It will take us awhile to read through those. When I'm done, I'm going back over Mother Goose for the little ones and either going with Frost or Dickenson for the big ones at the same time. Then, I'll worry about getting more poetry books in this house. But, from what I've seen Stevenson has a whole treasury of children's poems and a great deal of his other stuff is child-friendly as well. Honestly, if I were just starting out, I'd probably start with Stevenson or Mother Goose.
