You'll hear his feet tapping along the lines and this friendly dog bounding along beside him. And you'll hear a secret and know it to be true ... that goos poets don't really die, they live on in their poems" -- Carol Ann Duffy * Carousel *A great investment to introduce children to a superb poet * The Bookseller *Nobody has produced more surprising verse or genuinely inspired fun than Adrian Mitchell -- Ted Hughes * Books For Keeps *Endlessly entertaining * Booktrust *'These vivid, surprising poems from the much-loved late Adrian Mitchell are about anything and everything.

Astra Publishing House Thunder Underground
Book SynopsisThunder Underground – A rich tale of a girl and boy accompanied by several animals, go on a fantastic underground journey. In this collection of poems, noted children's poet Jane Yolen takes readers on an expedition underground, exploring everything from animal burrows and human creations, like subways, near the surface—to ancient cities and fossils, lower down—to caves, magma, and Earth's tectonic plates, deeper still below our feet. This book contains science, poetry, and an adventure story all rolled into one. But it's also more than that: In these poems we see that beneath us are the past, present, future—history, truth, and story. This thought-provoking collection will evoke a sense of wonder and awe in readers, as they discover the mysterious world underneath us.Trade Review★"Twenty-one poems...encourage children to explore what is under their feet using imagination and wonder. (E)ach poem honors the ability of young readers to navigate syntax, imagery, and wordplay. Yolen's treatment of the underground is expansive...(and) Masse's mixed-media illustrations portray the imaginary points of view with aplomb. A thoughtful exploration of nature expressed in poetry that should open the eyes of children to unseen worlds."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review★"Yolen pays tribute to the natural...and the man-made...as well as musing on lost cities, (and) pirate treasure...Blending creativity with scientific fact, (her) poems appeal to readers' imaginations and intellects alike."—Publishers Weekly, starred review"...This collection illuminates the rich world of activity that goes on beneath our feet. The warm, naturalistic illustrations of underground scenes...often contain an element of charming whimsy...(and) nicely compliment the verses. Great for either a school or public library."—Booklist"Through a variety of poetic forms, readers will...uncover buried history...The text embodies wonder and factual information...The detailed illustrations...tie the book together and provide little Easter eggs for kids to notice on every page. For scientists and daydreamers, this...volume of poetry approaches the world from a variety of thought-provoking perspectives in an attractive and engaging package." —School Library Journal“This book of short, fun poems… could be used to teach both poetry and content. The illustrations are bright and feature two children discovering all the wonderful things that live underground.”—School Library Connection“Twenty-one poems invite children to consider the worlds—natural and manmade— beneath their feet…. shifting perspectives add a sense of playfulness. Notes…for each poem round out this title, offering extra information, conversation starters, and possibly inspiration for children to write about their own subterranean interests."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Gibson Square Books Ltd A Lion Was Learning to Ski, and Other Limericks
Book SynopsisWhen he came across an old-English limerick that made him laugh, playwright Ranjit Bolt started writing nonsensical verse to entertain his friends. On a whim he decided to staple some together and offer them at a market in his home town of Cambridge when not writing plays. Readers would go away chuckling to themselves and the booklets flew away. Their chuckling response led to A Lion Was Learning to Ski.Trade Review'The rhythms and particular delights of the limerick form are so well exploited here. Perfect poems.' STEPHEN FRY: 'Ranjit Bolt is the deftest, most dexterous of wordsmiths, able to make an Alexandrine dance and anapaests do headstands. Here he is proving himself a limericist extraordinaire.'

Upfront Publishing Removing the Mask
Book SynopsisThe book, “Removing The Mask” is a selection of poems and writings which encapsulates the essences of change. While grounded in everyday experiences, these poems force the reflective side of our thinking to transport us to past happenings. These lived experiences capture memories of sadness and pain, and quickly create a sweet, balance through the equally uplifting passages which provide both empowerment and positivity for the reader. The book challenges the reader to explore how our experiences can affect how we process issues and how a lack of confidence can debilitate our sense of achievements, purpose, and self-worth. The book arrives at no specific solutions; instead it gently leads the reader to examine the questions stimulated by its content to journey through a host of personal experiences to arrive at a conclusion that is personal and empowering.

This collection of poems and rhymes helps to make being sick a little less scary, with poems about broken bones, the chickenpox, having an injection and many more – with characters that will make young readers smile and laugh. Children can sing along to Owen’s Broken Bone Blues, meet Ultan Ulrich Ultrasound – the man who can look right into your insides with his magical powers – and Eliza Analyser, who looks at all your cells under the microscope.

Zandere turns germs into Jellylegs, temperatures into cheeky red imps and all the tools a doctor pokes and prods you with into instruments that are far more interesting than scary. Who could resist the X-ray specs of Ultan Ulrich, the “Secret Agent Ultrasound” who “went to a special school for spies – all that stuff beneath your skin [he] can visualise”, or Eliza Analyser with her “magic goggle eyes, The doctors collect samples for her to analyse”? Zandere’s rich reframing of illness, from the common cold to more serious, hospital-worthy woes, should force a smile from the most miserable patient, while Reinis Petersons’s illustrations will also gladden the heart. * The Irish Times *Winter colds don’t stand a chance against Inese Zandere’s delightful poems in All Better ...
