Michael Rosen's two cats are popular on Twitter because he started
sharing his conversations, (his 'chats') with them as tweets about
a year ago. The cats generally have the upper hand and Michael has
to put up with their demands. The tweets take on the format of
small playlets with the cats speaking as one. They often disturb
him working and just as often moan about their lack of food and his
treatment of them. The illustrations that accompany the tweets will
delight cat lovers and possibly the cats theemselves, althoughh
they are somewhat vain so this is not a forgone clonclusion. Those
who have similarly demanding moggies at home will no doubt treasure
this book.
Double the trouble! An original novel by Michael Rosen, told
alongside the Dickens classic that inspired it: Oliver Twist. Shona
and her dad are moving house, and at Shona's new school, the rules
are pretty confusing; she keeps getting into trouble without
realizing! It's a lot like how it is for Oliver Twist, that boy
she's reading about in English class. After Shona is unexpectedly
given a mobile phone, she begins to suspect there's something fishy
about the new boys she's met. Where did the phone come from? And
some gifts, she soon learns, aren't exactly free... Read two
stories at once - both illustrated by Tony Ross.

From two of the biggest names in children's publishing, this is an
inspiring guide to wordplay for young readers, their parents and
teachers. I'm ready for spaghetti Will you getti the spaghetti?
Don't say, "Not yetti spaghetti!" 'cos I'm all setti for spaghetti.
Fizzing with rhythm, energy and laughter, the 30 poems in Ready for
Spaghetti delight in the details of children's daily routines. "Up,
up, uppity-up!", the first poem announces, while the artwork shows
a child leaping out of bed, ready to begin their morning; "Hush and
a hush, soft and low", chants the final poem, as children snuggle
under their blankets after their day's adventures. Full of
affectionate observations of young children, which are beautifully
continued in Polly Dunbar's warm-hearted pictures, Michael Rosen's
poems are ideal for reading aloud with toddlers ... and many
grown-ups will soon know them by heart!
Named Children's Book of the Week by The Times! Inspired by a true
family story, Michael Rosen presents an astonishing account of
perseverance, love and hope in wartime. Beginning in 1939, young
Solly in London exchanges letters with his teenaged cousin, Bernie,
in Poland. While Solly is evacuated and tries his best to adjust to
life in the English countryside, Bernie's parents know that as Jews
they're not safe staying in Warsaw, so they send Bernie to the
Russian-occupied side of the country in the hope that he'll be
safer there. Soon, though, he is arrested and sent off to a forced
labour camp in Russia. As the cousins exchange sporadic letters,
they try to keep their spirits up, trading jokes and observations
about the world changing all around them. Then Bernie seizes the
opportunity to join the "Anders Army" and fight the Axis powers,
and tells Solly all about his experiences in Iraq and eventually
Italy, where he fights alongside the British at the famous Battle
of Monte Cassino. Does Bernie survive and find a safe place to call
home? With breathtaking illustrations by beloved illustrator
Michael Foreman, this is an unforgettable story of courage and
love, perfect for the whole family to share. Michael Rosen is one
of the best-known figures in the children's book world, known for
his work as poet and author of classic books such as WE'RE GOING ON
A BEAR HUNT. This book is a perfect companion to POPPY FIELD by
Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman. Together, the books are a
wonderful introduction to the history of the great wars of the 20th
century and the importance of Remembrance.

of trouble is easier said than done. Together, they embark on a
perilous adventure to discover the girl's lost identity, uniting
with new friends along the way who show Frank all is not as it
seems in this stately home. How did the owners of Chiltern House
come to own its priceless treasures? Can the secrets of the past

What does it mean for people to have to leave their homes, and what happens when they seek entry to another country?
This book explores the history of refugees and migration around the world and the effects on people of never-ending war and conflict. It compares the effects on society of diversity and interculturalism with historical attempts to create a racially 'pure' culture. It takes an international perspective, and offers a range of views from people who have personal experience of migration, including the campaigners Meltem Avcil and Muzoon Almellehan, the comedian and actor Omid Djalili and the poet Benjamin Zephaniah. Aimed at young people aged 10 and upwards, the book encourages readers to think for themselves about the issues involved. There is also a role-play activity asking readers to imagine themselves in the situation of having to decide whether to leave their homes and seek refuge in a new country.
Part of the groundbreaking and important 'And Other Big Questions' series, which offers balanced and considered views on the big issues we face in the world we live in today.
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.
