The first in a brand-new series of poetry books for 5-7 year olds,
created with KS1 teachers and students in mind, but packed with
glorious poems that will appeal to a wide audience. This
topic-based collection features brand-new poems about fairies,
mermaids, princesses, monsters, mythical creatures, dinosaurs,
pets, transport, families, seasons, school, people who help us,
pirates, the senses, space, feelings, holidays and festivals,
minibeasts, food, where we live, nature, friends, and the past.
Cotton Candy Sky takes us on an enchantingly descriptive journey
through nature and colour, and highlights the importance of trust
and gratitude in life.As much as we try, we will never be in
control of everything. Lows are followed by highs. Sadness is
followed by smiles. Just as clouds come with rain, soon they will
be blown away to reveal the cotton candy sky again. So, whenever
you are low, look up at the sky and see in its colours some of
life's blessings: "the red of my mother's love "the true blue of my
father's hugs."
Allie Esiri's beautiful gift anthology, A Poet for Every Day of the
Year, is the perfect introduction to 366 of the world's greatest
ever verse writers. Perfect for reading aloud and sharing with all
the family, it is bursting at the seams with familiar favourites
and exciting new discoveries. Shakespeare, William Wordsworth,
Christina Rossetti and Emily Bronte sit alongside Roger McGough,
Wendy Cope, Imtiaz Dharker, Leonard Cohen, Sylvia Plath and Ocean
Vuong. Each of the 366 poems features a small introduction that
gives a sense of who the writer was, and not just the greatness of
their work. Some offer insightful biographical details or key
historical context, while others may provide quirky, humorous
anecdotes. The day-to-day format of the anthology invites readers
to make poetry a part of their daily routine, and makes sure that
they discover something inspirational, life affirming, provocative,
moving or entertaining each and every day.
Beautiful books make unforgettable Christmas gifts. This
pocket-sized treasure is the perfect gift for fans of nature,
language and rich artwork, adult and child alike! Kindred in spirit
to The Lost Words but fresh in its form, The Lost Spells introduces
a beautiful new set of natural spell-poems and artwork by beloved
creative duo Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. Each "spell"
conjures an animal, bird, tree or flower -- from Barn Owl to Red
Fox, Grey Seal to Silver Birch, Jay to Jackdaw -- with which we
share our lives and landscapes. Moving, joyful and funny, The Lost
Spells above all celebrates a sense of wonder, bearing witness to
nature's power to amaze, console and bring joy. Written to be read
aloud, painted in brushstrokes that call to the forest, field,
riverbank and also to the heart, The Lost Spells summons back what
is often lost from sight and care, teaching the names of everyday
species, and inspiring its readers to attention, love and care.

Black cats born at midnight
Are different indeed
A mischievous, odd
And peculiar breed
In the middle of winter, three kittens are born in a barn. Two are
ordinary, but the third, jet black and born on the stroke of midnight,
is brimming with magic from whiskers to tail – even sparking life into
a dusty old broomstick! While her siblings pounce at rats, Midnight
perfects her flying skills on the broom, not noticing how her mother
disapproves of her magical ways…
When Midnight finds herself abandoned, the little black kitten sets out
to find a new home with only her loyal broom Twiggy at her side. The
pair soon befriend a kind-hearted girl called Trixie. But how will
Trixie’s family react to Midnight’s extraordinary powers and taste for
mischief?
A bewitching new series from the best-selling author of A PINCH OF
MAGIC, Michelle Harrison. Told in rhyming verse and illustrated in
colour throughout, this is perfect for readers of SQUISHY MCFLUFF,
HUBBLE BUBBLE and GOBBOLINO.
