One to watch. * The Sunday Times * The Big Amazing Poetry Book is a warm, funny and imaginative celebration of verse, and the ideal introduction to a mix of diverse poets, from famous names of the past Lewis Carroll and Charles Causley, to well-loved poets of today including Nikita Gill and the new Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho. * Lancashire Post * This is a book to lose yourself in, whether or not that is your intention when you open it . . . Chris Riddell's intricate black and white illustrations placed over, under, through and around the poems are quite simply, brilliant. * Red Reading Hub * The Big Amazing Poetry Book is an utter triumph. Not only do I think every child should have one, I think every home should have a copy too. I thought it was fantastic and recommend it completely. I could not have loved it more. * Linda's Book Bag *
