A Child's Garden of Poetry Soothing DVD

I was recently asked to review the new HBO DVD special called, A Child's Garden of Poetry. I agreed simply because I have been a longtime fan of poetry and would like to expose my son to more cultural things. Since this DVD includes authors like Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost and William Shakespeare I knew I could not go wrong. Beautiful poems like, “The Road Not Taken” are read by famous individuals such as Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore. In between the poems there are short interviews with children aged 6-8 that allows them to explain why they love poetry and to give a child’s perspective on poetry.
My son and I both really enjoyed this A Child's Garden of Poetry and found it very soothing. I personally love to have it playing while working on the computer, and my son loves the animation in the DVD. I think the use of children’s interviews during the interlude is crucial in keeping my sons interest. He loves to hear what other children like and think about subjects.
