The Wonderful Thursday Club: Animal Poems
Illustrated by Anthony Flintoft
(Orion Childrens)
96pp, POETRY, 978-1842550304, RRP £3.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Ant eaters, goats, rattlesnakes and woodpeckers -- there's a poem for every animal in this lively collection of word play poems. Unfortunately the rhymes and the subject matter just go on and on with little respite or variation. After a while, it's hard to concentrate and the verses just become background noise.
