Big Book Of Verse For Aussie Kids

Synopsis

The Big Book of Verse for Aussie Kids is the most comprehensive, authoritative and definitive book of poetry ever published in Australia for children. The famous rub shoulders with schoolyard rhymes, alphabets and nonsense verse. Old favourites sit side by side with an impressive selection of modern verse that kids will enjoy reading, reciting, acting out and hearing. Over 600 of the best verses for children in the English language have been especially chosen for Aussie kids. Unashamedly the emphasis is on Australian history and heritage - from Banjo Paterson and C J Dennis right down to Max Fatchen and Colin Thiel - but Hilaire Belloc, Rudyard Kipling, Spike Milligan and Robert Louis Stevenson are never far away.
