An Ambleside year is a year of the Ambleside Online programme, not a reader's age. Year 0 is its first year, and a book used over several years shows the span. The ages beside it are that band offered two grades up and none down, which is how we offer a band; they are a placement, not a reading measure.
This is a good example of a book that is both of scholarly interest as well as of interest to children. The Opies have collected children's poetry from the past few centuries and arranged them in rough chronological order. Excellent introduction (for the scholar) as well as the inclusion of the best in children's verse--a great reference book and one to read snippets of to your children along the way.
