One thing that unites us all – across time, nations and peoples – is food. From chocolate, rice pudding and sandwiches to breakfast in bed, banana phones and the fruit of a mythical jelabi tree, A.F. Harrold has brought together a wonderful and diverse collection of poems on the topic of food.
Beautifully illustrated in full colour by rising star Katy Riddell (daughter of former Children's Laureate, Chris Riddell), this rich and delicious anthology brings together work from a broad range of poets, including the magically observant William Carlos Williams, award-winning Joseph Coelho and the inspiring Sabrina Mahfouz. Whether you're in the mood for a perfect bowl of yoghurt or a pomegranate omelette, these poems will satisfy any food craving. The perfect gift for any poetry or food lover!

From armadillos, flamingos and umbrella birds to quokkas and
iguanas, Elli Woollard presents a lovely collection of poems for
younger children about pets which are just a little bit peculiar...
Filled with fun rhymes, quirky black-and-white illustrations and
exotic animals, this book is perfect for reading aloud. Some poems
are hilarious, some are gruesome and some will make you want to
wash your hair, but there's sure to be a pet poem here for every
child and adult alike.
A fantastic book of really great poems for Reception and Year 1 and
2. It contains poems which cover every form and theme of the
Literacy Strategy, an index of poem types, advice for writing
poems, advice for reading poems, lots of poetry activities and some
workshop ideas and lesson plans.
A personal, powerful and resonant account of the Holocaust by one of this country's best-loved children’s authors. By turns charming, shocking and heart-breaking, this is the true story of Michael Rosen’s search for his relatives who “went missing” during the Second World War – told through prose, poetry, maps and pictures.
When Michael was growing up, stories often hung in the air about his great-uncles: one was a clock-mender and the other a dentist. They were there before the war, his dad would say, and weren’t after.
Over many years, Michael tried to find out exactly what happened: he interviewed family members, scoured the internet, pored over books and traveled to America and France. The story he uncovered was one of terrible persecution – and it has inspired his poetry for years since.
Here, poems old and new are balanced against an immensely readable narrative; both an extraordinary account and a powerful tool for talking to children about the Holocaust.
