In and Out the Shadows

These imaginative poems for children written by Sandy Brownjohn take you on the wheel of Chance, show you Old Nick exercising his demons, and give you a pigeon's A to Z of London. She advises you to beware of the sheep, watch you for killer minks, and tells you the difference between Persian satraps and catnaps in the catnips. They will make you think and laugh at the same time. With previous publications by Hodder & Stoughton, Sandy Brownjohn is well-known for her books on teaching children to write poetry and her books feature on many college of education reading lists. After 20 years as a full-time classroom teacher, she is now a freelance writer and educational consultant. She lives in London.
