In this anthology, Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy brings together a spirited and enriching selection of poems for children. Including both ‘big name’ poets and some that will be less well-known, this collection explores the world we see around us and what it means to be alive. Selected with great care, the poems in this anthology will amuse and surprise young readers, encouraging writing as well as reading, and showing us that we can all have something to say. From the first poem to the last, this is an exquisite celebration of poetry which will encourage children to enjoy sounds, words and language. A Laureate’s Choice is a perfect addition for your classroom.
