Featuring such classic poems as 'The Owl and the Pussycat' by Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky' alongside Edwin Morgan's 'The Loch Ness Monster's Song' and 'Balloons' by Sylvia Plath, 101 Poems for Children Chosen by Carol Ann Duffy: A Laureate's Choice is a delight for children of all ages and a pleasure to read aloud. It has been exquisitely illustrated by multi-award-winning illustrator Emily Gravett.
Carol Ann Duffy is the author or editor of several volumes of poetry, including The World's Wife, Rapture, and also books for children.
