Collected Poems

This collection of verse from Allan Ahlberg should be given a space on the shelf of every primary school teacher in the country.

Drawing together poems from five of Ahlberg’s collections, the now famous school poems Please Mrs Butler and Dog in the Playground are included alongside many of Ahlberg’s other favourites.

Perfect for sharing in a classroom or at home, many of the poems will evoke laughter and cries of recognition, as well as moments of thoughtfulness.

Line drawings from Charlotte Voake complement the poems, giving the reader even more to discover in this wonderful book.
