Book description
If you need cheering up... If you need guidance... If you want to
laugh... If you need courage... Sometimes only a poem will do. In this
magical new collection of our best-loved poems, selected and introduced
by the creators of the bestselling app iF Poems, discover the joy,
solace and beauty of poetry with your family. Whether you're after a
poem that is charming, funny, sad, silly, magical, sleepy, long or
short, there's something in here for everyone. From Lear's The Owl and
the Pussycat to Tennyson's The Charge of the Light Brigade to Eliot's
Macavity the Mystery Cat, these are poems to pass down the generations.
A favourite poem will stay with you for life, and this beautifully
illustrated collection for children aged 0 to 90 is sure to delight and
entertain for years to come. There is little that is as deeply
satisfying than the apt poem. It's like chocolate for the soul. Except
less fattening. It resolves the nervous system, captures the elusive
experience of being alive so we may always have it and never lose it.
Give your child an appetite for poems and they will never be bored
