PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Roger Stevens visits schools, libraries and festivals performing his work and running workshops for young people and teachers. He spends his time between the Loire, in France, and Brighton, where he lives with his wife and a very, very, very shy dog called Jasper. He has published over thirty books for children, but Jasper says this book is the best one yet. Brian Moses has worked as a professional poet since 1988 and continues to perform his poetry and percussion shows in schools, libraries, theatres and festivals around the UK and abroad. When asked by the BBC to write a poem for the Queen's 80th Birthday he wrote a poem from the point of view of her corgis which was framed and is probably hanging up in one of the lesser bathrooms in Buckingham Palace, or behind the dog kennels. Brian lives in East Sussex, with his own dog, a red labrador called Honey. Ed Boxall is an illustrator, writer and performer. He loves illustrating poetry because he loves to read the poems. Ed lives in Hastings, East Sussex and has a small grey dog called Dixie who thinks she's a human.
I love sharing poetry with children and they are going to love this collection. I know I do! You don't have to be a dog lover either, although the poems will obviously have a special appeal to all who love dogs, and who will relish in the way their foibles are so funnily exposed. All the poems are written from the dog perspective, giving them a real insight/ Meet dogs of every imaginable kind, from huskies, born to run, to those big bad bruisers, the security dogs. Meet Bruno, the smallest dog on the farm, and Charlie, the dancing chihuahua. Find rescue dogs, helping dogs, yappy dogs, happy dogs - and the dog with the waggiest tail! A brilliant collection with so much to enjoy and relish. * Parents in Touch * All written from the dogs' point of view, by internationally acclaimed poets Brian Moses and Roger Stevens, this funny and perceptive canine collection will be treasured by dog-lovers of all ages. * Read it, Daddy! * This funny and perceptive canine collection will be treasured by dog-lovers of all ages. * Achuka * Whether you are a dog lover or not, you will be delighted by these irrepressibly doggy voices...The strands of humour and tenderness that permeate this collection are beautifully complemented by Ed Boxall's endearing line drawings.
