A collection of poems from Michael Rosen is always an eagerly awaited event and the publishers obviously had an eye on the schools market with this one. It is described as being for 'developing readers - short stories or chapters, simple words and sentences, pictures throughout'. A mixture of new poems and old favourites roar through the book accompanied by Korky Paul's exuberant illustrations. Excellent for KS1 and the four strands within the NC framework but also a thumping good read.
