Walking with My Iguana by Brian Moses
Powerful performance poems, perfect for Literacy Hour, KS2/3 English and any fan of poetry - accompanies an audio CD on which all the poems are performed by the poets who wrote them. A highly entertaining collection of performance poems as well as an essential classroom and library resource, this book features approximately 40 poems by some of the UK's top children's poets. The focus is on poems that come to life in performance and meet the needs of the classroom teacher particularly at KS2 in terms of delivering the Literacy Hour requirements for poetry. Paul Cookson, Michael Rosen, Andrew Fusek Peters, Pie Corbett, Wes Magee, and John Rice are just some of the outstanding poets that are included, and strongly represented are poets and poems from ethnic minorities eg John Agard, Valerie Bloom, Debjani Chatterjee and Adisa. Brian Moses, the doyen of performance poets for children especially in schools, has compiled this collection to not only demonstrate the richness and excitement of poetry but to meet a wide variety of curriculum needs. Also available is an audio CD of performances of all the poems by the poets who wrote them, and notes for teachers are provided on www hodderwayland. co.uk.
"- [Valerie Bloom's] work adds quality to an entertaining enterprise with several high spots.. The outstanding item, for me, is John Agard's magnificent reading of Blake's 'The Tyger' with discreet but atmospheric background music. I can't imagine a group of children not being enthralled by this. It would make the perfect opening to an assembly. - The Times Educational Supplement - Original and well worth a listen. - The Sunday times - Plenty here to stimulate children of all ages. A few stand out... A collection worth having. - School Librarian - Certain to prove popular... fun and definitely delivers the goods. - Carousel - The compositions work best when read aloud (and this is emphasised when listening to the CD) and offer good opportunity for Key Stage 2 pupils to enact their own recitation performances at assemblies or concerts... An innovative book (and audio CD) that is bound to be a hit with 7 to 11 year-olds. - Scholastic Best Books
