Format:Paperback
What a wonderful book: funny, sad, thought provoking - everything a poetry book should be. Fabulous for children of all ages (and great for grown ups, too). The children love the poems by the author's dog! I love the one about a child who wants his mum back - even though it makes me cry. This is a real family book. Anyone who wants their children to learn to love poetry should buy it.

Roger Stevens - poetry for the child in everyone
14 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
Roger Stevens is a truly talented wordsmith:
His adjectives are amazing, his adverbs always aptly applied.
No noun is nonsense - even the abstract ones.
His pronouns are it. And his verbs vibrate with meaning.
But, above all, his prepositions are out of sight.

If you like the sound of this, you'll love Stevens' work.
If you don't have a child, buy his books for yourself.
