curriculum for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. There are poems about
prehistoric times, mammoths, the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, ancient
Greece, Rome and Egypt, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Alfred the Great,
Normans, King Harold, William the Conqueror and the Battle of
Hastings.
I'm going to make this city green, a deep, shining green, right
here where I lie I'll make this city green. Look out for the tree
that saved a town; dip your toe in the Milky Way; sing the City
Seed Song; play in Kitty Cat Street - and then come home to
Belonging Street. Poems about nature and protecting our planet
mingle with puzzle poems, riddles, family life and belonging, in
this magical and warm-hearted new collection from an acclaimed poet
and performer in schools and at festivals across the UK.
Everyone hates going to the doctor - taking their medicine, having
their temperature taken, maybe having to go for surgery. This
collection of poems and rhymes helps to make being sick a little
less scary, with poems about broken bones, the chickenpox, having
an injection and many more - with characters that will make young
readers smile and laugh. Children can sing along to Owen's Broken
Bone Blues, meet Ultan Ulrich Ultrasound - the man who can look
right into your insides with his magical powers - and Eliza
Analyser, who looks at all your cells under the microscope.
Translated from Latvian and retold for the English market by
award-winning Irish poet Catherine Ann Cullen.
This is another very special Bellissima book written for kids, this
time for who are either in the hospital, going to the hospital or
who are just plain hospital kids. The book is intended to be real,
but at the same time be funny and entertaining and allow a hospital
kid to express what he or she is feeling about everything and to
make the best of their hospital stay. Penelope Dyan has an affinity
for kids and feels what their hearts are saying. This is her way to
help just a little bit. A former teacher of grades k-3 and an
attorney, Dyan's book 'Surfer Girl' was the winner of best teen
book at both the 2008 New York Book Festival and the 2008 Hollywood
Book Festival. Penelope Dyan's 'Surfer Girl' is also recognized by
the Girls Voices In Literature Database, Miami University, Florida
and other numerous awards. Dyan is also a mother and grandmother
and brings with her this added insight and expertise. So read and
laugh and cry. Do it all with this funny little book of 'Poetry For
Kids.' The profits from this book (both hardcover and soft cover)
will be going to a very special hospital kid named Kourtney. If you
would like to know more about Kourtney read Diagnosing Kourtney by
Laura Najjar.
