Squeak! Squawk! Roar!

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Kate Williams has impressed me for many years with her clever, quirky poems about all kinds of creatures. Any child who loves animals couldn't fail to be entertained by the poems in this collection." -- Writer and performer, Brian Moses "Kate has created a joyous collection of poems, full of energy, humour and a deep love of nature. Definitely one for the classroom bookshelf." -- Jon Biddle, award-winning teacher and Reading for Pleasure advocate "Williams' first solo book of poems celebrates all kinds of different animals, such as the coiling cobra, a "crosseros rhinoceros", and the "chimpantease", while touching upon environmental concerns for their natural habitats." * The Bookseller * "...charming illustrations. The collection is perfect for dipping in and out of and many of the poems could enliven odd moments between lessons, be enjoyed at story time or linked to work on animals in the curriculum as well as inspiring children to create their own verses. Great fun!" * Through the Bookshelf * "Definitely recommended for solo reading and for classroom sharing. Great to dip in to as well as using as part of an animal theme." * Red Reading Hub * "These are poems to be read aloud, shared, recalled and to take inspiration from. Bookwagon welcomes aboard Squeak! Squawk! Roar! What a compact powerhouse of poems!" * Bookwagon * "The poems would suit a wide range of ages, and this is a book that can be read from start to finish or dipped into at random. It would be a brilliant resource for schools but equally fun for bookcases at home and bedtime reading. Occasional wacky or cute illustrations help illustrate the subject of each poem." * School Reading List * "This is the author's first solo collection and her love of the natural world shines through every verse. Black-and-white illustrations are dotted throughout, providing visual interest and touches of humour. There's something for everyone in this slim volume, which can be equally enjoyed at home or as part of the school day." * BookTrust * "An adventure into poetry, ..... a fantastic, illustrated book of silly poems." * Armadillo Magazine * "...This is an attractive collection, tailored craftily for its audience, which should be enjoyed both by the individual young poetaster and in the classroom, especially if delivered by the poet herself on her school visits. Hannah Asen's illustrations strike exactly the right note." * Books for Keeps *
