There are also poems on the things adults say that don't quite make sense to children - these may cause reflection from the teacher as much as the children!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe range of poems in this book could be used in a variety of contexts. It would make a valuable addition to any KS2 teacher's bookshelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom \u003cem\u003eThe Church Times\u003c\/em\u003e - June 2012\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTop of the list, on the basis of entertainment alone, would be \u003cstrong\u003ePoetry Emotion\u003c\/strong\u003e, by Stewart Henderson. What Michael Morpurgo has done for children's fiction, Henderson has done for poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs a regular broadcaster on BBC Radio 4, the writer has something of a national reputation. His poems are simple, unintimidating to children, and characterised by a delightful, icono clastic sense of humour. Teachers, granddads, best friends, and even enemies are teased, but always gently.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by a previous volume of his, one of my students began his poem on his goldfish 'Hail to thee, wet pet!' The style is recognisably Henderson's. At the heart of this book is compassion for those who find life hard and challenging.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAdolescents, take note, and take heart. This slim volume may well be just the tonic you need to get through another tricky day.

An excellent tool for a hard pressed teacher who wants something short but interesting to use for assembly, worship or even in PHSE or other subjects lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the poems in here would also work really well for a range of outside school activities and youth \u0026amp; children's leaders and even ministers would not go too far amiss with using this book either.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviewed by Melanie Carroll\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
