A Century of Children's Poems order quantity

NZ$ 24.99 each
Hardback
Author: Foster, John
One hundred poems, one hundred favourite poets. From John Agard and Seamus Heaney, to Walter de la Mare and Benjamin Zephaniah, A Century of Children's Poems is a celebration of the most outstanding children's poets of the twentieth century.
This compelling mix of styles and genres makes it an enticing blend. Join the poetry carnival with John Agard, glimpse The Secret Song by Margaret Wise Brown, delve into Carol Ann Duffy's box of chocolates, stand back in amazement for Kenneth Grahame's Mr Toad, dream of Pamels Mordecai's Western Isle and feel the furnace of Jane Yolen's Dragon Night.

These are just a few of the poems in this wonderful collection which makes it a book to treasure for life.

NZ$ 16.95 each
Paperback
Author: Roger McGough
Of this book Morag Styles and Pat Triggs wrote in the BFK Guide to Poetry: "This really is a fabulous book, comic verse at its best. McGough doesn't take a crude or simplistic view of humour: there are poems which give you a good belly laugh; but many others surprise, provoke or quietly amuse. Rich in content and illustration, Caroline Holden provides brilliantly funny drawings".

The Word Witch : The Magical Verse of Margaret Mahy order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 45.00 each
Hardback
Author: Margaret Mahy Edited by Tessa Duder Illustrated by David Elliot
Honour Award, New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards 2010.

The Word Witch can lasso with a limerick, haunt with a haiku and wrap you tight in a rhyme, quick as lightning. Her cauldron is a dictionary, her wand a mighty pen, and she stirs her words at midnight, making tempting treats for children, to please and tease and tantalise them with imaginary treasures and delectable dreams. She weaves words into adventures, sets verses wildly dancing, makes similes sing and stamp their feet and poems purr like pussycats who have eaten all the cream! Her name is Margaret Mahy. These are her spells. A beautifully illustrated anthology of poems and stories for all ages.
