Mini Beasties
Illustrated by Alan Baker
An attractive anthology of poems and verse about insects and spiders. Despite the unfortunate publisher's blurb which seems to assume that children will only be interested in poetry if it's described as 'funny rhymes', the selection ranges widely; some of it is, indeed, funny but much is thoughtful and beautiful as well. A good mix, well served by attractively decorated and colourful pages, which will interest most primary children.
