Choose your favourite sound, bob like a robin, soak up the stillness of the forest, jump like a startled kangaroo or go to a monster jamboree. But keep an eye out for a dinosaur at the bus stop!
Funny, gentle, thoughtful, magical – this is an outstanding collection for younger readers, from an award-winning poet whose beautifully crafted, musical poetry will be loved by younger children.
This is a collection of ‘poems to have fun with’ – and really widens that scope to ‘words to have fun with’, ‘ideas to have fun with’ and ‘read-alouds to have fun with’ too!
Previously shortlisted for the CLiPPA award, A Dinosaur at the Bus Stop celebrates the absurdity and the unexpected. These poems are perfectly pitched to hit the humour level of younger primary pupils, while Eilidh Muldoon’s playful illustrations bring the nonsense gloriously to life.
It’s an excellent collection and a brilliant choice for high-energy read-aloud sessions that will bring all the joy of poetry to the classroom.
