Book Description

Publication Date: 25 Oct 1979 | Series: Puffin Books

I LIke This Poem is a classic collection of children's poems from Puffin Books.

Highwaymen and naughty children, sharks and baboons, the Snitterjipe and the Jabberwocky, all have their part to play.

Each and every poem in this treasure chest of family favourites was chosen by a child for other children.

With poems from William Wordsworth and Christina Rosetti to Roald Dahl and Michael Rosen, there really is something for everyone. Classics to savour and new favourites to discover!

This is a classic anthology to treasure forever.

Kaye Webb became Editor of Puffin Books in 1961. During the 1960s and 1970s her instinct and flair resulted in the addition of many outstanding titles to the Puffin list, and in 1967 she launched the highly successful Puffin Club, now the Puffin Book Club. She was widely known for her remarkable contribution to children's books, and was awarded the MBE in 1974. She retired from Puffin 1979, but continued her involvement with children's books. Kaye Webb died in January 1996.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great variety of poems, good introduction for children 2 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I was given this book at the age of eight, and at 30 I still love many of its poems, tho my copy is falling to bits. My stepchildren stopped all activity and listened when I read The Caterpillar's Song, looked a bit confused during Macavity the Mystery Cat and giggled about Oh I Wish I'd Looked After Me Teeth. There are great comic poems, but also more serious and thought-provoking poems. The range of ages contributing to the book's content make this such a great book to give to kids at an early age - they can find something to appeal to them whatever their mood and age. Thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic introduction to poetry 25 Aug 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I had this book as a child and sadly my original 1979 edition has gone mouldy. As I now have children of my own I simply had to replace this, it's a great introduction to poetry, all the poems are collected into suitable age rannges and gave me hours of enjoyment, I just hope the replacement does the same for my children.

my daughter (aged 5) just loves this. We still haven't read every poem in the book but that's because she has her favourites and always wants to hear them. Really lovely selection.
