This Dinosaur themed anthology of poems is written by various authors. The anthologies in this series are updated and revised versions of previously published titles, each with several brand new poems in them. There's an anthology for every place and topic. Make sure you've always got a verse rehearsed! Roaring dinosaur rhymes, silly school rhymes: even some revolting rhymes to get you groaning. You can rap or rhyme them, mime them out or tackle fiendish tongue-twisters. Heaps of rib-tickling rhymes to send you poetry potty, and it all supports the school curriculum. A matching Teacher Resource Book, written by Paul Cookson, features workshop-style lessons based on different poetry types/genres. Each lesson focuses on a specific poem from one of the anthologies.

At the start of the coronavirus lockdown, Paul Cookson set out to write (at least) a poem a day - and kept on going. Volume Two of The Man Who Launched a Thousand Poems is the debut publication of poems 501 through to 1000, from July 2021 to November 2022. Compassionate, societal, political and principled, and laced with the author's renowned humour, here is an extraordinary collection for extraordinary times and a reflective documentation of a nation's resolve and wellbeing.

The Very Best of Paul Cookson brings together twenty-five years of poetry. It includes his favourite poems and his most thoughtful, uplifting and memorable poems. Includes Let No One Steal Your Dreams, Father's Hands, May You Always, Invisible Magicians, This is Our School and many more.

At the start of the coronavirus lockdown, Paul Cookson set out to write (at least) a poem a day. Volume One features poems 1 to 500 and covers the period of March 2020 to July 2021, first published in the paperback collections Fighting Talk, Can of Worms, Pig's Ear, Dog's Dinner and Nail on the Head. Compassionate, societal, political and principled, and laced with the author's renowned humour, here is an extraordinary collection for extraordinary times and a reflective documentation of a nation's resolve and wellbeing.

Written daily throughout the UK's restrictions to combat coronavirus, Pig's Ear, Dog's Dinner picks up directly from Volume 2, Can of Worms. Covering the period from the introduction of the 'Three-Tier System' through to the anniversary of the first lockdown, Paul's third volume is filled with humour and compassion, and is a reflective documentation of the nation's wellbeing. Illustrated by Korky Paul.

Written daily throughout the UK's restrictions to combat coronavirus, Nail on the Head picks up directly from Pig's Ear, Dog's Dinner and takes us from the first anniversary of the first lockdown, through the planned easing of regulations and up to 'Freedom Day' on 19th July 2021 (variants allowing). Humorous, compassionate and with a principled political edge (and more than a passing interest in the European Football Championships, as you'd expect from the National Football Museum's poet-in-residence), this is Paul's concluding documentation of a nation's strength and wellbeing. Illustrated by Chris Riddell OBE, Martin Chatterton and Korky Paul.
