Helên sets about planting seeds with this super collection of contemporary poetry for children (7-11yrs). She is well known for her entertaining and thought provoking poetry readings and school theatre and with this book sets about translating some of her energy, enthusiasm and playfulness to the page. Playing with structure and form she produces magical poetry which shows how relevant poetry can be. It's fun, it's amazing, it's Helên on top form. Some great illustrations by .Paul Neads
This is a collection that should be in every school library.
