A Poem A Day - Tapa dura

A wonderful collection to enjoy everywhere (The Bookseller)

With both colour and black and white illustrations throughout, this is truly a collection to treasure ... the perfect first poetry book for the young (Books Magazine)

Expansive and exuberant (Books For Keeps)

A superb range of verse (Times Educational Supplement)

A real treat ... a mixture of contemporary and traditional poets and light-hearted and thought-provoking poems, the choice marked by Mitchell's anarchic and tender approach to life, his love of the ludicrous and his love of life (Books For Keeps)

Adrian Mitchell has joined forces with four of today's favourite illustrators to create this fresh and vibrant collection of poems for the young reader. With offerings from Shakespeare and Wordsworth to Milligan and McGough there is something here for everyone. Each day has its own poem, carefully chosen to accommodate the needs of a young audience and to fit in with the season in which it falls. And with both colour and black and white illustrations throughout, this is truly a collection to treasure.
