And full of riches, this is a collection to dip into, top pore over, and to return to again and again…

To coincide with the centenary of Oxford Children's Books we are proud to present this definitive new collection. Including all the major children's poets, and with a wonderful range of both classic and modern favourites, this is a book that will be treasured for a lifetime. The poems are enhanced with black and white artwork from a number of top children's illustrators to create a truly special package, which should be on every child's bookshelf.

From classic favourites to vibrant new discoveries; from hilarious limericks to unforgettable narrative poems; from the silly to the serious and from the everyday to the extraordinary: this wonderful collection has every kind of poem.
Here you will find more than 250 poems from more than 130 poets, including Ted Hughs, Michael Rosen, Ogden Nash, Rudyard Kipling, Carol Ann Duffy, Charles Causley, Benjamin Zephaniah, and Hilaire Belloc, as well, of course, as many anonymous and traditional poems.
