Pick and Mix Poetry: Children's verse chosen by Julia Donaldson

This book is a marvel, bringing together over three hundred poems written for children. With poems about the days of the week, the seasons, various aspects of the natural world, even trains and skyscrapers this collection is as broad as it is brave. Broad because no topic is off limits it. Brave because there are many poems in here that have been penned by unknown authors, that may have no provenance yet which are simply wonderful to read and share. The poems in this book are full of wonderful words to read aloud. Why not pair opposites or find poems which complement one another and see where the joy and wonder of celebrating words takes you.
