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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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\u003c\/p\u003e * New Statesman *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Maker said\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeginnings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy coloured pens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur short but interesting Greek bus journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunting in February\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr Frog,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer’s skull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShadows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e‘Please do not feed the animals ...’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting School – Preston, 1912\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e‘Scary doesn’t have an e, James.’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish Rules – ’Don’t use “and” all the time’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlovenly student, 1345\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecent history lesson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeace process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePing Feng\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCat sisters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorry, mouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThings with feathers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwallows in September\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e‘Gift offer – Traditional Wishing Well – £47.50’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShopping at Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tale of Sir Toby the Timid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHumpty, the true story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShiny cheery poem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh tide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaside September\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful phrases for when you’re on holiday ...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutumn Flood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGnome at the Garden Centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvening song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Salt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771556594007,"sku":"9781844715060","price":8.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781844715060.jpg?v=1758728259","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/high-tide-9781844715060","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
