I have long loved this poem illustrated by Susan Jeffers so was eager to review this book. Fun fact: “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” written in 1922 and published in 1923, is celebrating its centennial. Six decades after the passing of its author, Robert Frost, P.J. Lynch brings this classic to new life with exquisitely detailed illustrations. In this rendition, the traveler is a young woman traveling to the outskirts of a small town on this wintry night. Because it is night time, the illustrations are quite dark and best enjoyed one-on-one. But it is a perfect book to be share with horse-loving children on the “darkest night of the year.” There is reason that this has remained beloved for 100 years!
