This 132 page book has a wonderful variety of poems of different lengths, formats and themes. Topics the author presents us with include school and teachers, animals, science and nature, family and friends, games, space and spooks, history, holidays and eating. The poems are often humorous and entertaining, sometimes witty and clever.
There are also a few pages containing interesting facts interspersed within the poems. The book is perfect for readers of up to about 13/ 14 years of age. It's ideal to pick up when one feels like just reading a few poems at a time. Even adults will have a few laughs and smiles paging through the book and choosing a few poems to read on topics that interest or appeal to them.

A fun and varied collection of poems for ages 7 to 11 (KS2). It covers themes of family, friends, school, relationships, science, nature, space, food, history and more. The poems include rhyming and non-rhyming forms ideal for reading aloud, and with some having footnotes giving additional facts where useful.
If you know any quirky, curious, cool or cantankerous kids, these poems are for them. Paul Bright is a widely published author of poetry, picture books and early readers. He has a science background and lives in Tunbridge Wells.
Paul originally trained as an engineer - which is rather unusual for a children's author - and spent many years working in England, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and Spain. He used to make notes for stories when he was sitting in meetings, or travelling on trains and planes. Poems were the first things he had published, followed by picture books. His first picture book, ‘Under the Bed’, was published in 2003. The second book, ‘Quiet!’ was shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award (it didn’t win but he got a Blue Peter badge!). Paul has now had about 20 picture books published. In 2016 Paul was one of four authors chosen to write new Winnie-the-Pooh stories for Pooh’s 90th birthday in a collection called ‘The Best Bear in All the World’ (reissued in a bright purple colour to celebrate Pooh’s 100th birthday in 2026).
