About this title
A wonderful anthology of poems that will form the cornerstone to a lifetime's enjoyment of poetry.
This is an anthology that aims to do two things: to set fire to the imagination and to bring together a collection of memorable poems. What we will discover is that the two are inextricably linked. We only have to 'remember, remember the 5th of November' to see a dark night filled with fireworks and bonfires. And in their many different ways - through their sounds, rhythms, stories, surprises and jokes - these poems will set the fireworks crackling in our own heads.
Michael Morpurgo has brought together poems by writers as diverse as Spike Milligan and Louis MacNeice, Stevie Smith and John Lennon, Jo Shapcott and Lewis Carroll. Once read, they won't be forgotten - some may even beg to be learned by heart - and will form the foundation to a fund of writing and a habit of remembering that throughout life will enrich our everyday experience of the world.
Selected by Micheal Morpurgo and illustrated by Quentin Blake, this lovely book encourages young readers to give free reign to their thoughts and feelings, inspiring even the most reluctant of readers to pick up the book and let their imaginations take centre stage. (Ages 8 and over.) --Susan Harrison
