His poems will work their magic on all readers,and each one findssomething new to say,and the perfect way to say it. A treat from first page to last.To me,this is what teaching poetry should be about in primary schools;pushing boundaries of language conventions as well as using humour tocapture attention. The mix of poems throughout the book are fantastic inexploring different forms of poetry,inspiring pupils to create theirown versions which can be very rewarding and less overwhelming thanother forms of writing.Oh yes! This collection is very good indeed.The language chosen is rich and varied,offering challenge and requiring reflection. James Carter's use of a range of fonts adding a playful tone to many of the poems. Ed Boxall's lively illustrations add interest and are varied.A great collection for using in class and enjoying everywhere!James Carter's school visits have taken him,and his guitar,to over 1,200 primary schools in Britain over the last fourteen years. This collection,his twelfth,positively fizzes with energy,and suggests what a dynamic performer he must be in the classroom.
