Reviews
A celebration of the magic of language. Sure to challenge, amaze and enchant.
One of those books that children will love reading and all primary school teachers should have in their personal collection. Sue Hardy-Dawson has written a collection of poems to rival any of the well-known anthologies. Animal poems feature heavily and this of course will ensure its appeal with children.
