Hailstones and Halibut Bones: Adventures in Colour (Adventures in Color)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Poetry
by: Mary O'Neill

January 01, 1989
Excellent for young and old alike. Mrs. O'Neill was the first person to describe color to those who cannot see and for those who are sighted she added a dimension to our appreciation of color. I will never look at purple the same again.

Wordwhirls and Other Shape Poems

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Poetry
from: Oxford University Press

October 29, 1998
This book contains 72 shape poems covering a range of subjects including animals, weather, food, games, poeple and places. It is an invaluable resource for teachers interested in inspiring children from 7-11 to write their own shape poems and invent their own calligrams. Both children and adults who enjoy playing with words and investigating different layouts for poems will love this book. As a teacher, I know the children in my class will get hours of fun out of writing their own cat dreams, party invitations, holiday memories and of course word whirls, to name but a few!

Spill the Beans: Poems

by: Paul Cookson, David Harmer

What a great book for parents to share with their kids. Described as performance poetry and written by guys who really understand kids, the poems in this 'Best of ...' collection are funny, yet amazingly real. We sat down at the dinner table and took turns reading them out. What a great way for kids to learn to read out loud...and to read poetry at that!

As a teacher myself, I particularly enjoyed the poems about school life. This is the book to read if you want to find out why dinner ladies are more scary than headteachers.

We found this book to be our daughter's favorite bedtime reading. A thoughtfull, well written and illustrated book, should be a classic for all children especially jamaican children. Highly recommended.
