Mr Bs Emporium of Reading Delights: New and Collected Poems for Children

At long last - all of the poems from our Poet Laureate’s four award-winning children’s collections are here in one heavenly volume; along with a generous helping of great new work. This is a really diverse collection; from the hilarious ‘Cucumbers’ to the haunting ‘The Moon’; Duffy’s poetry is packed full of people, insects, animals, places, spirits and monsters and laden with humour, imagination and tenderness.
