Description
This is a delightful and appealing collection of poetry for 4-7 year olds. "Who Lives in a Tree?" is a collection of over 60 short poems, each one beautifully illustrated by author Jan Pollard. Written with warmth and a vivid imagination, these poems cover most of the topics close to a small child's heart: birthdays, trips to the seaside, tigers and snuggling up in bed on windy nights. Jan Pollard's years of teaching have given her a marvellous insight into just what makes young children tick. These poems are perfect for young children: fresh enough to engage little minds, while still leaving space for their imagination. Jan Pollard is a well-established author whose previous work has received glowing reviews, and been used extensively in teachers' resource packs. Beautifully evocative of childhood, "Who Lives in a Tree?" will appeal to teachers, children and their parents.

Person
Jan Pollard was born in Suffolk and spent most of her working life as a teacher. She began writing poetry to help children with learning difficulties, and rapidly realised the importance of poetry in teaching young children about word and rhythm. Her first volume of poetry, Fly Eagle Fly, was published by Ladybird Books, and more than fifty of her poems have appeared in anthologies and CD-Roms published by Scholastic. The title poem of this new collection was broadcast by the BBC for its schools programmes.
