Here Comes the Poetry Man
Being born; falling in love (though not, please not, with Jenny); dancing the locomotion; fighting on the playground; being a little frightened: all human life, as they used to say, is here. The book also contains an attempt on a world record - for the shortest poem ever written.
How to Write Poetry
Plenty of people want to write poetry - yet while it is not necessarily difficult to write poetry badly, it is harder to write it well.

EPZ Teaching Poetry

The first section will be comprised of advice from his own experience on reading poetry to children at KS1 and KS2. The second section will comprise of case studies of children responding to poetry and will show how much children can actually understand. The last section will be comprised of a case study af children writing poems.

Enabling Children's Learning Through Drawing
At the heart of this book is an emphasis on helping children to learn about themselves, their world and their relationships, through drawing. It also shows how teachers can use drawing as an in road into art, language, literacy, and other aspects of the curriculum; how children can improve their writing through drawing, concentrating on draftsmanship, the lines of letters, words and sentences; and how children can improve the quality of their drawing; with four basic rules that have been proven to raise standards throughout school. Based on case studies of children from six to eleven years of age, this passionately written book draws inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's sketchbooks and from Nigerian art to show how children can learn more effectively through the medium of drawing.
