Michael Rosen is very engaging. And this website is lovely.

You might like to look at some Benjamin Zephaniah, my ds has enjoyed some of his poems, we have Talking Turkeys and Funky Chickens.

dd2 loves the Michael Rosen Nonsense poems she got for Christmas; she also likes anthologies of all sorts, even ones containing quite old-fashioned/classic poetry that are mixed with more modern stuff
