'If this varies and witty collection doesn't convert youngsters to enjoying poetry, then nothing will.' IRISH EXAMINER
A collection of the very best children's poetry, from much-loved poets including Benjamin Zephaniah, John Hegley, Michael Rosen, Grace Nichols and Roger McGough.
Every anthology has one or two poems that seem to shout out: 'Hey! I'm the best. Read me again. Learn me by heart. Love me.' So here, for the first time, are all of those poems collected together - from the pens (and computer keyboards) of some of the finest poets in the land. There are funny poems, sad poems and poems to recite over and over again in this outstanding collection.
