Product Description

Review
'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 2007--2009 '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

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, 16 Mar 2008
This book is a collection of perfect poems. I enjoyed most of them, however, some of the long ones made me a bit bored. My favourite poem is called `Butter and Margarine' because it is very funny and (kind of) original. It starts with: `Row, Row, Row your Boat, Gently down the Stream, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily'. Then it goes on to say `Life is but a - no it's not, it's margarine!' It is a bit of a joke but then again most of Michael Rosen (the poet)'s poems are hilarious! I would really rate this book 7/ 10 and would strongly recommend it to anyone in the need of a good laugh!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best poetry book I have ever read in my life, 14 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This is the best poetry book I have ever read. I especially enjoyed Rosen's poems about his youngest son 'Eddie'. My favourite poem is on page 13 of the book it is entitled 'Harrybo' and it is about Rosen's best friend. This book is suitable for male and female readers of all ages, all you need to enjoy it is a sense of humour!
