The best collection of contemporary children's poems ever! Every anthology has one or two poems that seem to shout out: 'Hey! I'm the best. Read me again. Learn me by heart. Love me.' So here, for the first time, are all of those poems collected together - from the pens (and computer keyboards) of some of the finest poets in the land.

Dynamic, pro-active author who runs school workshops and his Poetry Zone website to encourage children to read and write poetry. Poetry with real child appeal from the best contemporary children's poets writing today. The collection only includes poetry from the last 15 years. Poems to learn by heart and read over and over again.
