Poems About Animals

A fantastically fun collection of poetry for young readers! Compiled by Brian Moses, this anthology contains a mix of light-hearted poems and more serious ones, poems that rhyme and those that don't. There are plenty of good 'read alouds', thumping choruses, and the sort of poems that children can use as models for their own writing.

Poetry is a key feature of the National Curriculum and these fantastic poems are perfectly suited for this. Suitable for KS1 or KS2 children to read alone or in groups.

Beautiful illustrations tell the story of each poem.
