About the Author:
Review:
Brian Moses is a professional poet who has written and edited more than 200 books, including Behind the Staffroom Door and A Cat Called Elvis.Roger Stevens is a children's author and poet whose works include Beware! Low Flying Rabbits, The Jumble Book, and Why Otters Don't Wear Socks. Moses and Stevens have also collaborated on Aliens Stole My Underpants, Olympic Poems 100% Unofficial, The Truth about Parents, and The Truth about Teachers.
The range of everyday voices that inhabit poems makes the poetry accessible which enables the young reader to grasp something of the nature of these terrible events for themselves. * Carousel * This contemporary collection provides a lyrical insight into the poetry of war, most evident in some of Brian Moses' poems about the First World War with their Larkin-esque evocation of lost youth and misplaced optimism. * The Guardian * These two poets are well known not only for their poetry books for Children but also for the workshops they run in schools, libraries and at festivals. So they are extremely well qualified to create these poems about war for young readership. * The School Librarian * This is an accessible way for children to gain an introduction to war poetry and the valuable insights it provides. Ponder over the poems and what they can teach us. * parentsintouch.co.uk *
