[Rachel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was gifted this poetry book in Year 6 and it contains some very poignant poems - In Flanders Field, Daffodils - some very useful for important days like Remembrance Day. Ideally you would read a poem aloud a day to the children, and I feel this would be a great way to end a day, to be still and reflect on words - whether solemn or funny. It's a great way to normalise poetry and introduce culture.

I don't think I ever appreciated this anthology's value as a child. Re-reading it I realise it is packed with classic to modern poetry, there is something for all children. Gaby Morgan picked a range of poetry, to expand children's understanding and love for the genre. The book has a poem for each day of the year, with poems assigned to certain months. A great resource to use with children in the classroom.

I have two of these books (Not The Same Copy) so it is two poems a night. Marvellous. Helps a good night's sleep. Recommended.
