Excerpt from Eugene Field Reader
The poems of Eugene Field appeal to the natural instincts of childhood. He is distinctly the poet of the young. His poems abound in sentiments and allusions which touch life and experience at an early period. Verse preceded prose in the literary evolution of the race; by reason of both form and substance it should be the staple of literary diet and primary education.
