Poetry books for 9-year-old girl

[Blueballoons4]

My niece likes poetry and her parents have suggested getting her a book of poetry for Christmas. If anyone could recommend any, I’d be super grateful!

Please Mrs Butler (Allan Ahlberg) 🙂

Brian Moses is good

A copy of I Like This Poem - it’s out of print but reasonably available on Amazon. It’s children nominating their favourite poems and giving their reasons. Grouped by age. I loved it as a child and my children loved it.

Thank you very much for the ideas!

'I am the seed that grew the tree' is a lovely illustrated volume with a poem for every day of the year. www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/40703548-i-am-the-seed-that-grew-the-tree-a-poem-for-every-day-of-the-year

That sounds lovely - thank you!

Old possums book of practical cats would be good
