Are there any teachers or primary schools that don't have a copy of this book already? If you don't then buy it now!

Every kind of poem you will ever need for the Literacy Hour!

This is without a doubt the most used book I've ever bought connected with teaching. If you have to teach poetry then you can't do without it as it's the perfect place to find examples of every different type of poem you'll ever need. It's aways the first place I look before moving onto other anthologies.
