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.

Packed full of stupendously silly, fantastically funny and hysterically hilarious poems, this brilliant anthology is edited by exciting young poet, Joshua Seigal. Featuring a diverse range of contributors and some brand new poems from Joshua himself, this book is perfect for anyone who needs a giggle or a belly laugh!
Joshua's first book, I Don't Like Poetry was shortlisted for the 2017 Laugh Out Loud Awards (the UK's only prize for funny children's books) and this book is a marvellous mixture of his subversive humour and insight into the world of children.
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.
In Poems to Perform, Julia Donaldson has chosen poems with
performance by children in mind, and her notes and ideas on
performing them are included in a special section at the end of the
book. From the author of The Gruffalo, Julia's passionate belief
that performance can help children enjoy reading and grow in
confidence is informed by her own experience both as a child and
now, working with groups of children to bring stories, poems and
songs to life. The poems range from classics by Edward Lear, W H
Auden and Eleanor Farjeon to contemporary work by Michael Rosen,
John Agard and Clare Bevan. Illustrated throughout with exquisite,
expressive lino-cuts by Clare Melinsky, this is a book for
teachers, parents, children: anyone who loves great poetry.
Poems to make you smile! Critically acclaimed poet Roger McGough has drawn together a fantastic collection of upbeat poems to bring happiness into your day with this uplifting collection Happy Poems.
He reminds us that happiness can be found all around us in the everyday, in family, in books in nature and, of course, in our pets!
