Even More Poems for Children to Enjoy and Teachers Too
Eleanor McLeod is a well-established writer of poetry for children and her first two anthologies have also been welcomed by teachers as they include poems that are suitable for each school term. In this new anthology there are still sections for different times of the year but also sections on the natural world, families and travel. Initially aimed at Primary school children there are some thoughtful poems that would appeal to older pupils. As a teacher herself her connection with her young readers makes them relevant and entertaining.
More Scenes for Young Performers to Enjoy
Eleanor McLeod is a teacher, performer, LAMDA examiner and Festival adjudicator. Her last collections of "Scenes for Young Performers to Enjoy" have been shared in enthusiastic performances across the world. One reviewer said: 'Her understanding of writing material that will appeal to young players is evident. Her creations are well defined but offer the performer scope for individual interpretation. Drama teachers looking for scenes that will stimulate the students will be rewarded by some exciting new material.' So, following on from that comes some more 'exciting new material' - scenes based on nursery rhyme characters, often given an amusing and modern twist, so here is Incy Wincy Spider as a frustrated weather reporter, Old King Cole wanting to enter a talent contest and Little Bo-Peep putting an advert in a Lost and Found column, along with many more. They are certain to be enjoyed once again.

More Poems for Children to Enjoy - and Teachers Too!
Following the enthusiastic reception for her first collection of poems, Eleanor McLeod has now written this second book, full of poems for the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms, as well as a lively selection on a variety of subjects, which will certainly be useful for teachers as well as appealing to her young readers who have already enjoyed the rhymes and structures, use of words and images of her imaginative verse. A review in "SPEECH & DRAMA," the journal of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama, of the first book said: ..".a delightful selection of verse...they are immensely accessible, written with simple clarity and with the majority in a rhyming format and with metrical form. They are indeed for children to enjoy ....having some neat insights and observations. (She) has a sharp ear for the way children respond to poetry, consequently they should be read aloud to be fully appreciated, not just at school but in the family." So, here is the second collection!

Scenes for Young Performers to Enjoy
AS A TEACHER and also an examiner and adjudicator in the exciting realm of Speech and Drama, author Eleanor McLeod is all too aware of how difficult it is to find original and appealing scenes for young performers. This collection of monologues is based on characters from familiar fairy stories, many by Hans Anderson and The Brothers Grimm, where the author has taken a slightly different slant, often to modernise the characters and add a touch of humour. So, we have the Mother Bear who is all too aware of compensation culture, or Red Riding Hood's Grandma being hounded by the press! Others are more traditional. All of them have already been performed by keen young actors and actresses so we have already seen how they translate into entertaining and captivating performances. Watch out for Vol II 'Duologues' coming soon..
