Them and Us
Edited by Jennifer Curry
39 pairs of poems offering a child's and adult's perspective on topics close to children's experience such as starting school, sports day, falling in love, Divali and other festivals, bullying and riding a bike. The ages of the junior poets range from two years eight months - Ben Howison (his father wrote down his poem 'Snowman') - to 15. The adult poets don't admit to how old they are! A clever idea for arrangement which works very well. Some of the young poets are anything but outshone by their adult counterparts and readers could well be inspired to write poetry too.
