Kate Greenaway's 'Mother Goose Or The Old Nursery Rhymes' was
originally published in 1881, it contains many nursery rhymes and
tales together with her beautiful illustrations. Many of the
earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works
in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original
text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of
children. About the Illustrator: Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) was one
of the earliest contributors to children's literature and, along
with her contemporaries Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott, was
amongst the most influential illustrators in the development of
children's colour picture books. Her collaboration in 1876 with
Edmund Evans who reproduced her paintings using hand-engraved wood
blocks brought her much popularity. She has enchanted people, young
and old, for over one hundred years with her watercolour
illustrations of sweet, charming eighteenth century children with
their quaint costumes and idyllic scenes. In recognition of her
lifetime work, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information
Professionals of Great Britain established an award in her name in
1955 and to receive the Kate Greenaway Medal today is considered
the highest accolade a British illustrator can be given.

As expectation mounts on Christmas Eve, a boy hears sleigh bells
ringing and looks out of the window in time to see Santa arrive.
Santa comes down the chimney (this is a fun picture as the book is
tall and thin) and delivers the presents while pretending he does
not notice the boy watching. Off he rides with all his favourite
reindeer, and it's time for Christmas to begin! Told in verse
that's perfect to recite aloud with all the family gathered around,
this poem has stood the test of time since it was first written
almost 200 years ago.

TRY THIS AT HOME. Poems to inspire young readers.
From Eileen Spinelli's many goodbyes to summer at the shore, to
Avis Harley's catalog of ways to say hello across the globe, to a
close look at the birds and animals outside Valiska Gregory's
window in winter...Georgia Heard has collected list poems from
contemporary poets. Each list is gathered with a poet's eye -
carefully selected details beautifully presented - so that readers
see the extraordinary in the ordinary. And so readers are
encouraged to be writers. The simplicity of each poem and Georgia
Heard's introduction will inspire young poets to write their
own.

This collection of poems is ideal for the primary classroom as it
covers seasonal topics such as Harvest, Halloween, Guy Fawkes
Night, Christmas, Pancake Day, Easter and many others. There are
also poems about the weather and about a variety of creatures which
could be used to support the curriculum. Most of them have already
been enjoyed by Eleanor McLeod's discerning young pupils. Using
poems such as these as a starting point for learning can be fun and
informative.Eleanor McLeod is from Swansea, Wales and it was when
she began her Primary School teaching career in 1966 that she
started writing poems for her pupils. When she decided to change
direction and become a professional actress she continued to write
poems, stories and dramatic monologues. In 1984 after the birth of
her son, she returned to the classroom where all the old favourites
and many new ones were tried and enjoyed once again.As a teacher of
the LAMDA Speech and Drama syllabus and a member of the LAMDA
Examining board and a adjudicator for the British and International
Federation of Festivals she realises how welcome and useful a
collection of poems like this will be to teachers and performers.
Buffy & Huffy are the very best of friends, Right as far back
as they can think when. Buffy is tidy ~ petite, strong & sweet,
Huffy is messy ~ though she tries to be neat. Sharing a house
wasn't always a plan, but Buffy's house was too big... (it once was
her Gran's). Having it all to herself was all very well, but
hearing funny things, she had no-one to tell. One Christmas, with a
brainwave - what an idea! Bubbling with excitement, fizzed, "Huffy,
move here! There's a lovely deep bath in which you can wallow."
...And so began their jolly jaunts, the first of which, here
follows...
