With a fresh new look for a brand new generation of school children to take to its heart, every teacher, parent and child should have a copy. Nobody leave the room. Everyone listen to me. We had ten pairs of scissors At half-past two, And now there's only three. This title offers a collection of school poems.

This is a fun book of poems about the school day. My mum read it when she was little and we have enjoyed reading it together, our favourite one was please Mrs Butler. It was her favourite as a child and still is. The book is set out in chapters like a school day school time, play time, dinner time school time, home time. What a supper book and I recommend this book.

I like it because it's funny and there are lots of poems instead of just one. The poems are about school and some are at home. My favourite is The slow readers group.

The “Ordeal of Robin Hood” poem about doing a play was the best.

It was very good and very funny . I liked them all but especially the first one (called Please Mrs Butler )because it is the funniest of all. I recommend it for people who like poetry and for people who like funny things.
