Small Poems for Big Imaginations

About this book

Small poems are fabulous fun

So I thought I would write one

It will not be too long I think

Cos my pen has run out of

 

This collection of 55 short poems is lots of fun. It contains a variety of poetic forms, with strong rhythm and rhyme, making the poems a pleasure to read aloud. There are a lot of jokes, much word play, and some thought-provoking poems too. These poems have been written to be specifically appealing to readers who find longer poems daunting, and who may have English as a second language. The brevity, along with the energetic black-and-white illustrations, mean that overall, this book feels accessible and fun. It would be ideal to dip in and out of, and to share in the classroom.
