Vampires, witches, fairies, wizards and mermaids: you will meet them all in Angela Topping's poems. In this delightful collection she shares her wicked sense of humour about school and celebrates festivals, families and nature. Once you have entered Topping's world of magic and mystery you will never want to leave.
This is a book of very accessible, crafted poetry for children of seven years old and upwards, with a balance of rhyming poems and non-rhyming poems, amusing poems and serious poems. It ranges from pieces about animals and nature to poems about space, school, and family. It includes some nonsense and riddles, and two long story poems.
Cuckoo Rock creates a magical, elemental, questioning journey in search of a lost tomorrow through fire, earth, air and water meeting lots of wonderful knockabout musical characters on the way in poetry that is various, heartfelt, witty, skilfully rhymed and beautifully rhythmic.
Humour, magic and an engaging seriousness combine to make All the Frogs a must for the poetry bookshelf. Charles Causley has described John Mole's writing for children as 'the work of a true poet' and the anthologist Anne Harvey, reviewing an earlier collection in 'The Guardian' wrote 'A new John Mole collection is good news!'
Featuring turbo-charged trees, double agent forests and leaves that perform magic, this is a wide-ranging collection of fun, lyrical and thought-provoking poems.
Philip Wells performs as The Fire Poet everywhere from St Paul's Cathedral to Channings Wood Prison, from Buckingham Palace to children's hospices, from 11 Downing Street to children's psychiatric units, in front of everyone from Robbie Williams to Gordon Brown.
The poems in Bookside Down are written about and for 21st Century children, who are into their friends, the TV, Wiis, DS's, computers, collectibles and things that make them laugh. The aim is to entertain children, while giving them a good idea of how many weird and wonderful things poetry can do.
This book is a celebration of who we are; the good stuff, our amazing senses, language, love, gossip and cheese. John Siddique's poems blast off the page into real life or they can melt as gently as a snowflake on your tongue.
