I’m pleased to say the book has received 5-star ratings and great reviews on Amazon and at Waterstone’s, Foyles, Hatchett’s and elsewhere.
I get the children up on their feet in the first few minutes, doing animal impersonations and movements while I prompt for words, description, imagery… I share pictures, toy animals and a few poems from the book, as well as a gap-filling song with ukulele (KS1), building language and ideas. Soon, minds are buzzing with creative energy, ready for poetry-crafting! KS2 classes need pens and paper for first drafts, leaving time for crazy rhyming couplets, some of which we set to music with the ukulele! I supply optional follow-on poetry frames, and you’re more than welcome to send back samples of completed work for me to admire!
Further details of my poetry, workshops, and book can be found on my website.
