Eagerly awaited Collected Poems by a major children's poet, paired with an iconic illustrator
Words with rhythm, words with rhyme,
Words to make you feel just fine,
To clap your hands, tap your feet
Or click your fingers to the beat.
Words to make you grow… or cower.
Have you heard the word… WORDPOWER!
Exuberant, funny, full of surprises! Put on a show, find your favourite food, look out for animals, then find monsters, famous people and nursery crimes…. This exciting collection from award-winning and multi-anthologised poet Michaela Morgan is perfectly matched by the witty and wonderful pictures of world-renowned illustrator Nick Sharratt.
