Rhyme Stew

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Poetry
by: Roald Dahl

September 04, 2008
A touch of the unexpected and outrageous in many of these rhymes make them a great gift for anyone with a touch of mischief inside them, however deep it may be buried. When I was 13 I would read them out to mates at school. Everyone loved it, even the teachers. Back home, my dad sat in a corner chuckling through them too. Fun for everyone except the hyper-critical and grumpy.

Collected Poems

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Poetry
by: Charles Causley

March 10, 2000
Melancholy now, to glance down this list of Causley's books: his rebranding as A Children's Poet. This is the only full collection which resembles the books of poems as they appeared (including many of the brilliant poems from the 1980s) and is a truly marvellous body of work. By contrast, the Picador collections are thematically arranged and targeted for school children, following the fate of equally strange (and deeply unfashionable) writers like Walter de la Mere back in the 1930s. It's as though a poet who's neither modernist nor a confessional, personal writer can't be incorporated into adult genres and discourses; the publishers run scared of publishing this stuff properly. Well, Causley's tradition ran back through Hardy, Housman, John ... Read More:

Have You Seen Who's Just Moved in Next Door to Us?

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Poetry
by: Colin McNaughton

April 29, 1993
This book is a very long poem in 4-lined stanzas per page. An assortment of monstrous neighbours becomes increasingly apprehensive about the strange new family that's just moved into the neighbourhood. It tells you about most of the people on a Vampire family's road. There is King Kong, Humpty Dumpty, Mr. Rex, and many other amusing characters. The people who have just moved in are humans everyone else isn't. Werewolves, Superman, The Sea Monster and others aren't very happy - no one is! I really like this book a lot and I highly recommend it to 7 - 10 year olds and anyone and everyone else who has a liking to humour. This book has got lots of jokes in it and lots of funny phrases and lots of beautiful pictures by Charles McNaughton.
