Children's poetry

A wonderful treasury containing poems about all kinds of people, for all kinds of people, written by all kinds of people. Including a whole host of poets such as Ted Hughes, Charles Causley, Christina Rossetti, Maya Angelou and Roger McGough, this illustrated volume is a celebration of humans in all their diversity. Here, you'll find people sad and happy, busy and idle, young and old and engaged in all manner of activities, at their best and at their worst. The poems include both old favourites and less familiar poems, from a host of well-known names. The book is illustrated throughout in black and white by a range of artists including Laura Stoddart.
