Product Description
Product Description
These beautifully illustrated books, now reissued with all new 4-color covers, present the best of what's new in poetry, carefully chosen for children between the ages of 8 and 13. Many of the poems were written especially for these volumes, and among the poets included are Roald Dahl, Grace Nichols, Judith Viorst, Jack Prelutsky, David McCord.
Foster provides a variety of themes with strong associations for children: from the fun and light-hearted (Vampires, Pets, and Holidays) to the provocative (One-Parent Families, Technology, and War). Drawings, cartoons and photographs--most in color--draw attention to every page.

A wonderful experience of poetry
31 July 2000
Format:Paperback
This is a wonderful selection of poems for young children.There is lots of humour, a variety of subject areas - family, friends, scary stuff, night time and the world of nature. The illustrations and photography are attractive, colourful, comical and all-round great fun.
What I enjoyed especially about the book was the marvellous range of cultures embraced - traditional, european and caribbean. In fact whatever part of the world your child is from, there is plenty for him/her to enjoy and identify with.
Though some 5-7 year olds might have difficulty reading this book alone, these are delightful poems that beg to be read aloud. My daughter even started learning her favourites by heart without my promting. She returns to this book again and again and so do I! Our favourites are: the tooth Exthpert, I wish I could meet the man that Knows who put the fly on my daddy's nose, Don't go ova dere - in fact there isn't one we don't like!
