Media Reviews
Its range is impressive and, although there's plenty of mandatory playground jokiness, room is found for several well-chosen extracts from Shakespeare ... plus Keats, Coleridge, Rossetti, Yeats and some fine contemporary work such as Helen Dunmore's poignant 'Asking the Hare'. * Times Educational Supplement *
Children will enjoy the humour as well as the more scary and stark slants * Junior Education *
A vibrant collection. * Parent Wise *
May well prove to be the definitive collection. * Carousel *
What I liked most was the generous supply of interesting poems I hadn't read before ... Ideal for Year 5 and 6 classes to dip into, particularly perhaps in Year 6 when studying how different poets treat the same theme. * Booktrusted News *
