If you have been looking for very speakable poems for children at home, in your classroom or Speech & Drama studio then you need go no further than these books from the Kosseris stable.

Here We Go Again

Annette has done it again. This collection of brand new poems just drip off the tongue and race around the mind. These are the best modern poems I've seen since Kosseris' last two publications. The alphabetical and thematic indexes will be appreciated by teachers. The book is sprinkled with whimsical illustrations which add to the life of the text. If you want children to enjoy poetry then this book is a must. Ages up to 10 years.

Giggles & Woes & Anything Goes

This collection is totally appetising. The speaker/reader will delight in the words and the listener cannot help but be drawn into the fun and emotions of the concepts that are waiting to be heard. Some poems reflect the sheer exhilaration of life, others the sensitivity of human existence. All those who delve into the book will come away feeling enriched. (Ages 4 - 16)

Gooey Chewy and other JUNIOR Giggles & Dreams

Kosseris and Campbell's poetry instinctively captures the essence of childhood through rhythm and sound. There is great joy and verve in these creations that touch on those subjects dear to the minds of children. Not only will children enjoy learning and saying these poems but adults also cannot help but be moved by them. As a bonus, Gooey Chewy contains a section for Verse Speaking choirs, three monologues and a short story written through the eyes of an old dog called "Moofers."

Great fun! Highly recommended. (Ages 3 - 10)
