"Stevenson's' A Child's Poem Garden 'is a well-known classic in British children's literature. His children's poems are all about observing the world through the eyes of children and understanding the world in a unique way. This kind of child's psychology and temperament is something that everyone has experienced, but the vast majority of people lose this trait when they grow up. As an adult, only by understanding and re grasping the 'world of children' can one express it. Stevenson indeed possesses this ability. The Encyclopedia Britannica points out that ""A Child's Poem Garden"" ""demonstrates an extraordinary precision in capturing the emotions and feelings of childhood as an adult. In British literature, these children's poems are unparalleled."" It is praised as a ""beautiful enlightenment textbook"" for children's language learning in almost every English speaking country.

斯蒂文森的《一个孩子的诗园》是英国儿童文学中家喻户晓的经典作品。他的儿童诗都是从儿童的眼睛去观察世界，用儿童特有的方式去认识世界。这种儿童的心理和情趣本来是每个人都有过的，但绝大多数人长大成人后却丧失了这种特质。作为成人，只有理解并重新把握住"孩子的世界"，才能表现它。斯蒂文森确实具有这种本领。《不列颠百科全书》指出，《一个孩子的诗园》"表现出一个成人在重新捕捉童年的情绪和感觉时的异乎寻常的精确性。在英国文学中，这些儿童诗是无与伦比的。"它在英语国家几乎每家，被誉为儿童学习语言的"优美启蒙教材"。
