Chosen by Children.
Illustrated by Alan Marks.
Hodder Children's books and the Federation of Children's Book Groups are proud to present their first ever collection of poetry! It's a special collection: a lively mix of contemporary and traditional poems - all linked by the theme of "adventure" - and chosen by children across the country!
The children's choices reveal their love of the familiar, the fun, and the adventure in poetry: the voyage of Edward Lear's 'The Owl And The Pussycat'; the exhiliration of Paul Cookson's 'Twenty Things Needed For A Game Of Football On The Local Park'; as well as that momentous 'First Day At School' by Roger McGough. Not forgetting, or course, the wonderful fantasy of the title poem, 'Falling Up', by Shel Silverstein.
Beautifully illustrated throughout by Alan Marks, this is unique collection of nearly fifty favourite poems - to treasure and enjoy . . .
