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.

Oh! there once was a swagman camped in the Billabongs,
Under the shade of a Coolabah tree;
And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling,
‘Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?’
This famous ballad of the outback wanderer who drowns himself rather than lose his freedom needs no introduction. There is no swagman as legendary as the tragic hero of this tale; and there is no Australian song as well-known throughout the world.
Here, the famous ballad is given new depth and perpective. Talented illustrator Freya Blackwood has explored the intriguing background behind the writing fo this song and has shown us not just the lively story of a proud outback larrikin, but also a glimpse into the clashes and struggles that were so formative of Australian history at the turn of the century.
Includes bonus CD recorded by John Williamson.

What would Vikings use instead of horns for their helmets?
What would a mermaid do with a shoe?

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.
208-pp softcover.
