Likened to a lucky dip filled with a veritable treasure trove of treats, Donaldson shares this compendium featuring some of the nation's favourite poets like Michael Rosen, John Agard, Valerie Bloom, Maya Angelou and Allan Ahlberg. More recent gems feature LoveReading4Kids faves like Coral Rumble, James Carter, Paul Cookson, Jez Alborough and a few from Donaldson herself including our favourite ode to our beloved libraries - The Library Rap and the wonderful I Opened a Book. Donaldson also highlights poems we all grew up with and showcases works from those sadly no longer with us including Benjamin Zephaniah, Walter de la Mare, Robert Louis Stevenson, Christina Rossetti, Edward Lear, Spike Milligan and Mary Ann Hoberman.
Poems, nursery rhymes, riddles, limericks and skipping rhymes, this book has it all complemented by stunning illustrations by Becky Thorns.
