This anthology of poems, compiled by Brian Moses, contains a mix of light-hearted poems and more serious ones, poems that rhyme and those that don't. There are plenty of good 'read alouds', thumping choruses, and the sort of poems that children can use as models for their own writing.

Poetry is a key feature of the new National Curriculum and these fantastic poems are perfectly suited for this.

Beautiful illustrations bring each poem vividly to life.

For other titles compiled by Brians Moses, look for Poems About Animals, Poems About the Seaside, Poems About Emotions and Poems About Festivals.
