The sort of book you never knew you needed till you had it in the hand! For any budding poet or limerick-writer it will be invaluable, with similar sounds grouped together alphabetically and an index to point you in the right direction. Quirky artwork accompanies the zany limericks and verses that are dotted throughout the A to Z listing. Suggestions for rhyming games and descriptions of different types of poetry (from riddles and rhyming couplets to Haiku and acrostics) will inspire lots of ideas for word play and creative writing, and of course it all helps with spelling. Highly recommended for use in the classroom or at home, we are now busy making up verses about all our new classmates.
