Even My Ears Are Smiling
by
Michael Rosen
Illustrated by Babette Cole
A collection of classic poetry by celebrated children’s poet Michael Rosen featuring favourites such as ‘Nursery Rhymes and Hairy Crimes’, ‘I don’t like custard’ and ‘Knees’. The selection of fun-filled verse is accompanied by an audio CD of Rosen performing each and every poem.
Colourful and brimming with personality, Rosen’s style and is wonderfully matched with Babette Cole’s distinctive drawings. Full of short poems that crackle with fun, rhythm and word-play, this collection is a great way to introduce young children to the joys of poetry.

Michael Rosen
Children's Laureate 2007-2009
Michael Rosen is one of the best-known figures not only in the children's book world but also the British arts scene. His first book of children's poems was published in 1974, and he has gone on to write numerous award winning children's poetry books, picture books and non-fiction, such as Quick, Let's Get Out of Here and We're Going on a Bear Hunt.
Alongside this he performs, teaches, lectures, presents Word of Mouth on Radio 4 and reviews books for the Guardian. In 2007, Michael was appointed the fifth Children's Laureate - a role which he says will be used to be an 'ambassador of fun'.
