This is a bright and lively collection of poems about families and the people who live in them. In it, you will find poems about the looking-glass brother, the sister with something heavy inside, and the dad who likes to sleep in the rabbit hutch! It contains a stimulating mix of poetry, with the focus on contemporary poets, though there are classic poets included too. It includes poems by Jack Prelutsky, A.A. Milne, Eleanor Farjeon and Brian Patten. It contains bright, full-colour illustrations, by a variety of artists. It is ideal for use with the National Literacy Strategy at Key Stage 1. It is chosen by John Foster, one of our most popular and trusted anthologists.
