Poetry recommendations for younger children

[Eileen101]

I'd like to get my son some poetry books suitable for younger children, but not really sure where to start, either stand alone books or treasury books, I don't mind which.
Do you have any recommendations please?

Poetry for Young People is a lovely series of books with gorgeous full-colour illustrations. There is a standalone book for each classic poet:
