I didn’t like the poems Dear Brother and Jellybean because they are very disgusting to read but I liked how the author wrote his poems

I loved the jelly bean one and the writing about spiders but not some of the others about clocks or waterfalls. Nothing interested me. It might be good for my friends but not me.

A lovely anthology of poems on a range of subjects to entertain and provoke thought. Poems are written in a range of styles, illustrating the variety of ways poetry can be presented. The illustrations beautifully reflect the themes of the poems.
