Review
'If this varied and witty collection doesn't convert youngsters to enjoying poetry, then nothing will.' --Irish Examiner, October 2, 2010
Product Description
The best collection of contemporary children's poems ever! Every anthology has one or two poems that seem to shout out: 'Hey! I'm the best. Read me again. Learn me by heart. Love me.' So here, for the first time, are all of those poems collected together - from the pens (and computer keyboards) of some of the finest poets in the land.

Format:Paperback
A million brilliant poems - imagine that! Well, you only need to imagine 999,920 if you buy a copy of A Million Brilliant Poems (part one), chosen by Roger Stevens and published by A & C Black - a brilliantly nearly rhyming title for a brilliantly conceived series. (OK, I might quibble and suggest that only 79 are truly brilliant, but you can't please everyone!)
What sets apart this poetry book for children (aged 9 - 90) and makes it ring a chord with youngsters is that the poems are all modern, mostly 21st century, so no neath, thous, eres or twills among them. Many of the poems are not in print for the first time, but they have been selected for their quality and lively appeal. The range, style and subject matter is wide enough to attract the fussiest readers, and the poems are short enough to keep them turning the pages. Attractively illustrated by Jessie Ford, the book deserves a space on every child's shelf, classroom and library shelves, too. As its sub-title suggests, it is a showcase for 'the best children's poetry today'.

Ignore the old adage; you can definitely judge this book by its cover! A Million Brilliant Poems (Part One) offers "the best children's poetry today" and does exactly what it says on the tin. Featuring the silly to the solemn and everything in between, from some of the most well-known names writing in this genre, this stellar collection gathered by Roger Stevens shines from front page to back, and is an absolute must for any young poetry lover. Highly recommended!
Format:Paperback
A lovely book of various poems for children. My daughter really enjoyed this book and it helped her to write poetry herself.

The title says it all...
These poems are brilliant! I recognised quite a few of my children's (and my) favourites from other collections that we've bought over the past few years and was pleased to see... Read more

This is a bit flimsy and cheap looking, the cover is nice but the rest of the pages are plain and the paper quality os poor. Read more
