Book SynopsisFor all of life's adventures comes The Road Not Taken, which The New York TimesBook Review calls "a book that begs rereading."This beautifully illustrated companion is inspired by Robert Frost's perennial poem. Heartwarming illustrations of a young boy journeying through a yellow wood accompany the original text of the poem. When a fork in the road arises for the boy, so too does the first of life's many choices. And as the poem progresses, so does the boy's life: college, career, marriage, family, loss, and, by journey's end, the sweet satisfaction of a life fully lived. The first children's book ever made of Frost's famous poem, this moving presentation makes an inspiring gift for graduation, marriage, career moves, and all of life's exciting roads.Trade Review"An impressive treetop view shows boy and beagle confronting the diverging path, emphasizing the magnitude of choice... A favorite Frost poem reveals how serendipitous choice affects a lifetime. (Picture book. 4-8)" - Kirkus Reviews"THE ROAD NOT TAKEN... with illustrations by Vivian Mineker, does a wonderful job of reintroducing a well-known poem without altering a single word...This is a book that begs rereading."- Laurel Snyder, The New York Times "Golden, autumnal shades by Mineker mark Frost’s archetypal “wood,” as a red-haired child with a canine companion walks toward two roads that diverge. Seen from high above, the child resembles an abstract shape faced with the choice between two distinct paths. The boy’s choice leads to pivotal life moments: in one series of images, he grows older as he plays with tinker toys, then holds a book of architecture, then graduates from school. On another spread, chasing his still-spry dog leads him to meet his life partner, which lead to children, grandchildren, and old age. Mineker captures the poignancy and weight of Frost’s most well-known poem while delivering an accessible story of choices and personal journeys to young readers. Ages 5–8. (Mar.)"- Publishers Weekly

Book SynopsisHigh Tide is a collection of the best of my poems for children written since 2002. This is a book of very accessible, crafted poetry for children of seven years old and upwards, with a balance of rhyming poems and non-rhyming poems, amusing poems and serious poems. It ranges from pieces about animals and nature to poems about space, school, and family. It includes some nonsense and riddles, and two long story poems. Trade ReviewThe best newcomer is Robert Hull whose collection Stargrazer (Hodder and Stoughton) is wonderfully various, both in theme and form. It dips and delves into Roman history, Provencal legend, describes how shadows seem under bridges, retells, with a humorous lightness, Galileo’s story. This is a poetry book to make children feel and think simultaneously. Hull never patronises children by pretending to be one himself – he’s too mindful of their uniqueness to behave so improperly * New Statesman *Table of Contents Acknowledgements Space Black hole The Maker said Beginnings Snow My coloured pens Our short but interesting Greek bus journey Hunting in February Mr Frog, Deer’s skull Shadows Frost ‘Please do not feed the animals ...’ Starting School – Preston, 1912 ‘Scary doesn’t have an e, James.’ English Rules – ’Don’t use “and” all the time’ Slovenly student, 1345 Recent history lesson Peace process Ping Feng Frogs Cat sisters Table Sorry, mouse Things with feathers Swallows in September ‘Gift offer – Traditional Wishing Well – £47.50’ Shopping at Christmas The Tale of Sir Toby the Timid Humpty, the true story Shiny cheery poem High tide Seaside September Useful phrases for when you’re on holiday ...
