Michael Rosen and 200 children from Lambeth primary schools launched Children's Book Week on the London Eye on Monday 6 October 2008.
Michael and the children took a spin on the Eye and then gathered at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre, where together they wrote a giant poem called 'I Spy With My London Eye'.
