POEMS TO PERFORM (PB)

In this collection, Julia has chosen poems with performance by children in mind, and in the notes section at the end of the book are her notes and ideas on performing them. Her passionate belief that performance can help children enjoy reading and grow in confidence is informed by her own experience both as a child and now, working with groups of children to bring stories, poems and songs to life. Illustrated throughout with exquisite, expressive lino-cuts, this is a book for teachers, parents, children: anyone who loves great poetry.
