Average rating

5 out 5

16 reviews

  They're all here...every kid in the class has their own poem. The pushy one, the shy one. The whizz kid and the daydreamer. The best-friender and the kid who runs in his wheelchair. The tough kid, the poet. And not forgetting the class hamster. This collection from an outstanding poet, Rachel Rooney, winner of the CLiPPA Award, is perfectly matched by the amazing witty and inventive illustrations by Chris Riddell, the former UK Children’s Laureate.

I think this book shows about a class that there is a kid in the class that is noisy.

These poems relate to my class and I thought about who all of them are. It made me laugh with joy and i read it on a journey in the car. Would recommend if you want a short read or if you just want to read. It is readable for all ages and you can see how relatable everyone's classes are.
