Join our Poetry Street party and get creative!

Do you like stringing words together to see what they look like and what they sound like?

Do you have rhythms dancing in your head as you drift through the day?

Do you rhyme all the time while your feet tap a beat?

If you answered YES to all or most of these questions then you're pretty much hooked on words.

Now - together - let's take a walk down Poetry Street!

• Fifty two entertaining poems to stimulate the imagination and get the creative juices flowing
• With an introduction to welcome readers, and two spreads of creative writing ideas at the end, this is both the perfect gift for a child, and the ideal writing manual for use in a classroom
• Every spread illustrated with black and white illustrations
