The Doorstop Book
As long as there have been doors there have been doorstops. Early on they may have been a convenient rock or piece of furniture, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, doorstops were manufactured as decorative items for the home. Generally cast in iron, they are avidly sought after by today's collectors. Though mass produced, they were usually painted by hand and so each has become a unique treasure, appreciated both for its shape and the "folk art" quality of its finish. This wonderful new book brings together over 1,000 doorstops photographed in full color and organized by categories: flowers, birds, animals, wagons, Native Americans, people, houses & windmills, and nautical. It includes an informative history of doorstops, valuable information for collectors, histories and marks of the foundries that made them and more. Gathered from various wonderful collections, this book represents some of the finest doorstops ever produced and gives the reader a broad, encyclopedic view of the hobby. Values are included.
The Odds
The Odds examines how we are all juggling with fate, luck and chance, both good and bad -- and sometimes grab the wrong end of the lighted torch. Peopled with odd characters: psychic bookies, vicious magpies, a modern day Lady MacBeth, some miracle frogs, and the owner of a dark laboratory; the poems remain rooted in friendship, family and sense of how important it is to make the most of what we have.
The North 30

Tea with Cardamom
Warda Yassin's poems cross borders and cultures, combining the family storytelling of a home in Somalia with a childhood in a UK city. These vibrant, vivid poems contain so many lives: the colour, the laughter and the heartache.
All Kinds of Poems for All Kinds of Kids
Giants. Goblins. Graveyard whispers. Pirates, rumours and tongue-twisters. Football. Friends. Great-Great Grandad Ben. Astronauts and aliens. David's poetry has been entertaining children for over thirty years. This book brings together much-loved and brand new poems, perfect for reading alone or aloud: spooky poems, cheeky poems, quiet and outrageous poems. Here are poems about the moon and poems that make you think, as well as good advice on how to deal with a giant and where the worst place to find an alien might be.
Listening to the Night
Jane Routh's fourth full collection combines vivid, musical writing and acute perception of the natural world. Ranging across land and land art, birds, buildings and bodies, roads, trees and winds, her distinctive poems investigate memory and the changes which overtake us all. These poems listen to the nights, but also to the darker places in our lives and - in the face of environmental and personal loss - celebrate the moments of resilience "that keep mortality at bay".
Blast Off!
'Blast Off!' is aimed at 7-10 year olds but lower secondary school children will also enjoy the poems which are varied in subject matter (fairytales, funny poems and serious poems, poems about school and bugs and Christmas angels and pets and siblings, about moving house, space, football, friends, marbles, musical instruments and magnesium). There are riddles and clerihews and rhyming couplets, short poems, long poems and everything in between.
