The Poetry Bug

Summary

The Poetry Bug is a book of powerful poems that will capture the imagination of primary school-aged children; it recognises humanity's never-ending quest to understand ourselves, others and the world around us. Above all else, The Poetry Bug is playful. It recognises that people of all ages are explorers who need to navigate our world through word play, self-expression and humour if we are to understand it at all. In a world of seriousness, standardised tests and conformity, The Poetry Bug brings much-needed light relief that will brighten up even the dullest of days.
