Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening is a poem written by Robert Frost. This poem captures the story of a man and his horse stopping in snowy woods to enjoy the scenery as he has lots to do on the road ahead. I remember reading this story when I was in the first grade. It reminded me of Santa Claus, as the pictures drawn by Susan Jeffers are that of a white bearded old man.

This book is perfect for teaching about rhyming schemes or introducing poetry into the winter season. Each page but one simple line with a wonderfully drawn full page illustration. This poem is a classic in my personal collection.
