This Magic themed anthology of poems is written by various authors.
The anthologies in this series are updated and revised versions of
previously published titles, each with several brand new poems in
them. There's an anthology for every place and topic. Make sure
you've always got a verse rehearsed! Roaring dinosaur rhymes, silly
school rhymes: even some revolting rhymes to get you groaning. You
can rap or rhyme them, mime them out or tackle fiendish
tongue-twisters. Heaps of rib-tickling rhymes to send you poetry
potty, and it all supports the school curriculum. A matching
Teacher Resource Book, written by Paul Cookson, features
workshop-style lessons based on different poetry types/genres. Each
lesson focuses on a specific poem from one of the anthologies.

Me and My Alien Friend is Ed Boxall's first full-length collecti on
of children's poetry. The book is full of all sorts of friends:
best friends, changing friends, absent friends, animal friends,
imaginary friends and even a friend who's a 'Thing on a Springy
String'. In the poems, friends adventure together: discovering,
exploring and sharing life's happy hills and lonely dark hollows.
The 'Alien Friend' poem returns like a chorus throughout the book:
a boy sits on the moon with his 38-toed alien friend, looking at
our world from a peaceful distance, observing, thinking, dreaming.
In poems and drawings, friendship is gently celebrated as a
universal experience that can cross every divide.

Through a close re-examination of Eugene O'Neill's oeuvre, from
minor plays to his Pulitzer-winning works, this study proposes that
O'Neill's vision of tragedy privileges a particular emotional
response over a more "rational" one among his audience members. In
addition to offering a new paradigm through which to interpret
O'Neill's work, this book argues that O'Neill's theory of tragedy
is a robust account of the value of difficult theatre as a whole,
with more explanatory scope and power than its cognitivist
counterparts. This paradigm reshapes our understanding of live
theatrical tragedy's impact and significance for our lives. The
book enters the discussion of tragic value by way of the plays of
Eugene O'Neill, and through this study, Killian makes the case that
O'Neill has refused to allow Plato to define the terms of tragedy's
merit, as the cognitivists have. He argues that O'Neill's theory of
tragedy is non-cognitive and locates the value of a play in its
ability to trigger certain emotional responses from the audience.
This would be of great interest to students and scholars of
performance studies, literature and philosophy.

Sometimes our feelings are so big, our dreams and our worries so
wide, that we can't find the words to express them. How MUCH love
we feel; what a new sibling will bring; exactly what it's like to
take a hard tumble, or to want the sun to shine on a rainy day.
These thoughts and questions are explored by Hans and Monique Hagen
in poems pitched perfectly to the children who wonder. Marit
Toernqvist is their brilliant partner, spreading gorgeous color and
heartfelt imagery across these pages. If you want a sneak peek at
what we mean, turn to the sunflower spread on page thirty, and
feel...yourself smile.
Folk tales are stories full of adventure, courage, daring, fighting
dragons, trolls, and giants, and overcoming challenges. How many of
them have girls as the main heroic characters though? These twelve
folk tales from all over the world have been specially selected as
they feature strong, adventurous heroines. Some are funny, some
make you think, and some - like the story of Fearless Mary - keep
you on the edge of your seat with scares and surprises. Meet Louisa
Freya, the brave dragon slayer, funny and clever Sigrun, and honest
and humble Scarface as well as other heroines from Serbia, Norway,
China, Japan, South Africa, and Indonesia. Amy Scott Robinson's
distinctive voice, expertise and experience as a performance
storyteller makes this a unique and fascinating collection, aimed
at readers aged 7-9 years. At the end of each story, Amy shares a
bit about where the story comes from, how she has retold it, and
what the tale makes her think about when she is hearing or telling
it, including Bible verses. These folk tales deserve to be told as
often as the more famous and well-known ones. After all, why should
boys defeat all the dragons? Enjoy the adventure!

Phillip is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curaçao. War has always been a game to him, and he’s eager to glimpse it firsthand–until the freighter he and his mother are traveling to the United States on is torpedoed.
When Phillip comes to, he is on a small raft in the middle of the sea. Besides Stew Cat, his only companion is an old West Indian, Timothy. Phillip remembers his mother’s warning about black people: “They are different, and they live differently.”
But by the time the castaways arrive on a small island, Phillip’s head injury has made him blind and dependent on Timothy.

Gazing at the stars from five storeys up, smelling the bins from
five storeys below. Overheard arguments, overheard laughter. A
disappearing father and a Mermaid-Queen mother; statues that sing
for flesh and blood; bullies who kick you under the table; perfect
red trainers - and the things that lurk in the library....

eighty-two poems and paragraphs (including the renowned Gate A-4),

"From the top of your head to the tips of your toes Learn all about
health from a cool cat who knows!" In this delightful book, Dr.
Seuss' famous Cat in the Hat explains to young readers all the
different ways to stay healthy. This title and others form part of
a series of books that takes an off-beat look at nature and natural
sciences through a fun combination of Seussian rhymes and zany
illustrations. Aimed at early readers - from four to seven year
olds - the books are designed to bridge the gap between concept
books written for preschoolers and more formal non fiction titles
that require fluent reading skills. By presenting the facts in a
lively and rhythmic manner, they provide the critical foundation
upon which complex facts and ideas can eventually be built.
One of a series offering classic and contemporary writing for
schools to suit a range of ages and tastes. Suitable for study at
GCSE level, this novel contains scenes which may be disturbing for
younger readers.

several animals, go on a fantastic underground journey. This book

one. But it's also more than that: In these poems we see that

story. This thought-provoking collection will evoke a sense of
