timeless, brilliantly observed humour - Rated
This collection of poems, written around the events in a typical school day, will strike a chord with primary teachers and anyone who has ever attended school. From the wonderfully observed "Headmaster's Hymn" (to be sung) - "When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old/ He was 'face the front David Briggs what have you been told?'" - to the excitement of "Dog in the Playground" and the horrors of "The Nit Nurse". Clever, witty and laugh-out-loud funny.
Fab! - Rated
Fabulous from a teachers point of view to use with primary school children as they can relate to the poems.
Poetry - Rated
Excellent collection of poems and old favourite in all classrooms and homes, some of the poems are getting a little dated but haven't lost any of their charm.
Perfect & Pleasing School-based Poetry - Rated
This is a gently amusing and wittily accurate collection of poems set in a primary school. Contained within are poems that are destined to be classics such as 'Please Mrs Butler','Scissors','Supply Teacher','Reading Test' and 'Blame'.
The poems reflect all the varied aspects of the school day such as projects, tests, playtime, friendships, quarrels, dinner time and home time. The poems are popular with all ages in the primary sector and can lead to discussions in Circle Time as well as providing something that appears to be in shorter supply than when this book was first published over a quarter of a century ago - fun!
All children should read this book - Rated
I read this book over and over when I was 6 or 7 (20 years ago), and still remember several of the poems off by heart. I would recommend it to any parent trying to encourage their children to read.
