Inspired by the legendary Children's Book Award - where the children choose their favourite book from a selection - this anthology is truly representative of children across the country. The theme of the collection is 'adventure' - and in their choices the children have revealed a love of humour, of the familiar and of poems that tell a great story! Inevitable favourites such as Paul Cookson's "20 Things You need to Play a Game of Football" ...and Jack Prelutsky's "Today is Very Boring", and the delightful "Dauntless Dimble" stand alongside more traditional poems such as "The Night Before Christmas" and "The Owl and the Pussycat" - making this a special collection, chosen by the children, for other children everywhere to treasure and enjoy!
