Animals, mini-beast, parents, siblings, there’s plenty of material for Brian Moses to write about. Here’s a wonderful collection of his poems for younger children brought together for the first time in one volume. Divided into sections – Going Ape … , Caterpillars in Your Cornflakes, Parents – they ask the impossible, No Brother of Mine … or Sister, Every Boy and Every Girl Need Wriggle Room and In Some Distant and Magical Place. We can read how the budgie likes to boogie, maggots feel shunned and ignored (no wonder they are bored) – and now we know what a dung beetle really, really wants. There are thoughtful poems, imagining a kite, lost and still flying in some distant place, or a tree left in the dark all night, perhaps feeling lonely and shivery. And let’s keep in shape as we Go Ape – here are poems full of rhythm and energy, perfect for sharing and reading out loud, either at home or in class, by one of our leading poetry performers.
