4.0

I read and reviewed these separately earlier today, so this is basically just for my own records. Rating is averaged from the two volumes - Now We Are Six earned itself 3 stars, while When We Were Very Young got 4. That gives an average of 3.5, rounded up to 4.

Honestly, I think WWWVY is the better collection, although possibly because I have a nostalgic love for a number of the poems in it, including "Halfway Down", "The King's Breakfast", and one of my favourite child poems of all time, that of the bratty James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree in "Disobedience" (or, as I would call it, "Lucky Escape").
