What children’s poetry is everyone reading nowadays please?
In my day, my children read Bear Hunt and The Gruffalo, plus the poetry books from my childhood, such as The Treasury of Children’s Verse.
But what is popular now please?
I am particularly interested in poetry for the five to seven year old age group and for nine to eleven year olds?
I don’t have a clue and need to purchase for a summer reading group by the end of next week! I’m a volunteer so would very much appreciate some help please.
The criteria are : books can be illustrated or non-illustrated but they must be well written and can be compilations of different poems or, in the younger age group, one rhyming narrative.
Please can anyone help?
