Packed full of silly, funny, or downright hilarious poems (with some serious ones mixed in), this new collection is perfect for fans of Michael Rosen.
'Joshua Seigal is definitely my new favourite poet.' (Books for Keeps)
'Joshua Seigal is a rising star in the children's poetry world...' (lovereading4kids)
With poems on every topic from demon cats to why you should NEVER forget your trousers, this is a must-have new collection from Joshua Seigal, whose previous book for this age group, I Don't Like Poetry, was shortlisted for 2017 Laugh Out Loud Awards.
This collection is a wonderful mix for Joshua Seigal's subversive humour and brilliant insight into children's perspectives on the world. Get ready for the craziness to begin!
'The Wimbledons were sleeping. It was very, very late, When Wilma
heard a spooky sound, Which made her sit up straight. "That's very
odd," said Walter. "I don't recognize the tune..." "It's only
Stanley," Walter said. "He's howling at the moon."' Whoever heard
of a dog who can sing, cook and do DIY around the house? He makes a
lot of noise and mess, but he's forgiven as does mend the TV. Not
until the very end do we, or the hapless Wimbledon family, see just
exactly what Stanley the dog has been planning all along!
A fantastic collection of history poems that conjure up the sights,
sounds and smells of the past - both the great events and battles,
and ordinary day-to-day activities. Ties in with the history
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.
A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year. This lyrical middle-grade
novel-in-verse celebrates the power of story and of finding one's
individual voice. Keet knows the only good thing about moving away
from her Alabama home is that she'll live near her beloved
grandfather. When Keet starts school, it's even worse than she
expected, as the kids tease her about her southern accent. Now
Keet, who can "talk the whiskers off a catfish," doesn't want to
open her mouth. While fishing with her grandfather, she learns the
art of listening and gradually, she makes her first new friend. But
just as she's beginning to settle in, her grandfather has a stroke,
and even though he's still nearby, he suddenly feels
ever-so-far-away. Keet is determined to reel him back to her by
telling him stories; in the process she finds her voice and her
grandfather again. ACooperative Children's Book Center Choices
Selection.
