There was a crooked man
who walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence
upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse.
And they all lived together
in a little crooked house.

Gavin Bishop illustrates the old English rhyme in a vertical board book for very young children. There Was a Crooked Man

An essential guide to reading and writing poems!

Over many years as a working poet, Michael Rosen has thought a great deal about what poems are, what they can do and the pleasure that comes from writing and reading poetry. In this invaluable handbook, he shares this knowledge. Starting with a detailed analysis of a number of classic poems, he offers a real 'writer’s guide' to writing and performing poems, as well as a wealth of technical information and tips. He then takes a fascinating look at a selection of his own poems and explains how and why he wrote them. Complete with an appendix of poets and useful websites, this is the only guide to poetry children and teachers will ever need.
