Description
Here are sixty of the finest and most entertaining poems for younger listeners. There are nonsense poems such as The Jumblies, classic animal poems like The Snail, stories of adventure in The Ballad of Sir Patrick Spens and Robert Browning's classic tale of adults getting their come-uppance - The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Modern poetry also makes its contribution with wordplay in Zoe's Ear-rings and images of nature in Weathers. Though principally aimed at eight to thirteen-year-olds, this is a collection to delight listeners young and old alike.
