Seasonal poetry
I bought this book for myself really as I love poetry and Christmas but both my sons have dipped in (12 and 6). Because all children adore Christmas they seemed to be willing to read the poems so useful way to get them to absorb a bit of poetry from a lovely selection of varied and distinguished writers.
