Product Description

Review
'Michael Rosen is a poet with a superb ear for the rhythms of language' Guardian 'One of our most popular writers -- the champion for every bored, overdrilled, tested-to-tears pupil in the land' The Times 'I think poetry for children needs to be saved from the cold dissection of right and wrong answers and put back into rooms and halls full of wonder, compassion, haunting, laughter, music and rhythm. We need to hear its many cultures, many voices, many sounds. This is about wide and diverse participation. Diverse verse for all!' Michael Rosen, Children's Laureate 20072009

Product Description
Hail! Hail! I come from another galaxy. Discover the wierd and wonderful world of martians, woolly saucepans and centrally heated knickers in 100 poems about science and technology from the delightfully irreverent, Michael Rosen, Children's Laureate 2007 - 2009.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very weird and very interesting-a highly entertaining read, 2 Dec 2000
By A Customer
I realised Michael Rosen was an outstanding person when I met him myself (he came to visit my junior school). He seemed very funny and up-beat. He writes humourous poems, as you can tell by the title of the book 'Centrally Heated Knickers'. He writes a lot about his childhood, and in this book his choice of subjects are really strange. He writes about cool buggies, in 'Boogy Woogy Buggy', saucepans, in 'Woolly Saucepan?', cow fashion in a poem called 'Cow Shoes' and even, in every book, 'granma's hands' (but not literally!). You might say the things he writes about are weird, but the poems are really imaginative and very funny. They are also quite different to everyday poetry, for example in 'Some Advice For You If You're Ever Thinking Of Walking Accross a Very Old Iron Bridge' the title is longer than the poem itself! I didn't really like poetry all that much but this book changed my mind. Its really funny and even though its written mainly for 7 to 11 year olds like me, it made my mum and my 17 year old sister laugh. It convinced me to read more of his books, such as 'You Can't Catch Me', and his 'Book of very silly poems', both as equally weird and funny as this one. Once I picked up this book, I truly couldn't put it down-I really recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour, as it's guaranteed to make you laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knickers, 5 April 2009
By Mr. Robert Squire - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Probably the most useful poetry book for a supply teacher to keep in their bag. Plenty of cross curricula links and laughs.
