A teacher gathers poems for memory
Mary E. Burt worked as a teacher and writer on education, and this book grows out of that work. Her belief was simple. Children should meet fine poetry early, and they should keep it in their heads, not only on the page.
In her day, reciting poems in school was common. A child who knew a poem well owned it in a way that no later reading could match. Burt shaped her collection around that idea, choosing verse that is clear in its story, strong in its rhythm and rich in feeling.
This is why the book is called Poems Every Child Should Know. The title is a claim about what belongs in a shared childhood. It suggests that a community of readers can hold the same songs and stories in common, and that this shared stock helps children grow into the language.
