This work is a sparkling collection of festive poems for children that forms the perfect companion for Christmas. The magic of Christmas fills the pages, with a delightful mixture of well-loved classic verse and lively contemporary poetry, all lavishly illustrated by Anna Luraschi. Included are poems by William Wordsworth, Christina Rossetti, Alfred Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, Charles Causley, Gerald Manley Hopkins, Benjamin Zephaniah and John Hegley. Young readers will treasure this beautiful book, which is published in hardback with a ribbon marker. This enchanting title also sees the publication of the winning poem from last year's exciting Christmas poem competition. This is a lovely read-aloud book to share with younger children too.
