Author(s): James Norcliffe

Poetry, Plays and Nursery Rhymes

James Norcliffe's exemplary poems and Jenny Cooper's witty illustrations reveal what most teachers and nearly all pupils secretly know - that poetry can be fun to read and fun to write. For the most part they are easily accessible but in case they do puzzle and perplex at times, there are explanatory notes and a guide to the main writing techniques used. Even better, there is a helpful interview with a friendly author and a writing prompt with each poem, to encourage you to pack your own bag for Mars - or anywhere else that poetry may take you. All proceeds from sales go to the School for Young Writers.
