Publisher's Synopsis
Inspired by the legendary Children's Book Award - where the children choose their favourite book from a selection - this anthology is truly representative of children across the country. The theme of the collection is 'adventure' - and in their choices the children have revealed a love of humour, of the familiar and of poems that tell a great story! Inevitable favourites such as Paul Cookson's 20 Things You need to Play a Game of Football . . . and Jack Prelutsky's Today is Very Boring, and the delightful Dauntless Dimble stand alongside more traditional poems such as The Night Before Christmas and The Owl and the Pussycat - making this a special collection, chosen by the children, for other children everywhere to treasure and enjoy!
