Paul Cookson

This fantastic collection features all of Paul Cookson's most popular poems, including «Superman Dog», «The Toilet Seat Has Teeth» and «The Amazing Captain Concorde»! «Short Visit, Long Stay»: The school trip was a special occasion. But we never reached our destination. Instead of the Zoo, I was locked in the loo of an M62 service station.

A ridiculously rib-tickling selection of the most silly poems ever written!

If your pupils turn pale when you pull out a poem, and verses about flowers and rainbows make them groan, you might need to try another approach. That’s when you need «Disgusting Poems»! Full of icky, sticky, slimy rhymes about stinky socks, crusty cowpats, burps and big green bogies, this will get yucky little boys going nuts for a rhyme – and it might even make you chuckle too!

The Works 3 contains poems by 52 poets — one for every single week of the year. There are 7 poems by each poet which gives a fantastic variety to the book. All the major themes and forms of poetry are to be found within this chunky paperback and there is a biography of each poet at the beginning of their week. Another essential book for teachers but also a joyful celebration of the best poets of all time both classic and contemporary. Tennyson, Wordsworth and Shakespear rub shoulders with Brian Moses, Roger McGough and Brian Patten. A must have book.
