100 Best Poems for Children is a unique treasure trove. From the hundreds of poems originally chosen by children themselves, Roger McGough has selected an irresistible top one hundred no child should be without. Arranged alphabetically, this glorious collection offers a fantastic voyage of discovery. Here you’ll find Dr Seuss rubbing shoulders with Shakespeare, Roald Dahl sharing a page with Walter de la Mare and Christina Rossetti sitting next to Michael Rosen. With a wealth of contemporary and classic verse, there is something for everyone.
