Nursery | POEM | Kids' Poems and Stories With Michael Rosen From Mustard, Custard, Grumble Belly and Custard Published by Bloomsbury You can browse and buy Michael Rosen Books here \"You Can't Catch Me\" and \"You Can't Put Mustard in the Custard\" were first published twenty-five years ago and were groundbreaking in that they were full-colour illustrated new poems for children. \"You Can't Catch Me\" won the Signal Poetry Award in 1982. Both books went on to be bestsellers and both poet and artist are stellar names in the world of children's books. The book includes an introduction by Michael Rosen. Michael's brilliantly conversational poetry is fantastically matched by Quentin Blake's loopy yet perfectly detailed art. It is a partnership that Bloomsbury is proud to make available. Review - A brilliant colour illustrated poetry book which is packed full of amusing language! The book consists of various poems written by Michael Rosen, all of which are illustrated by the brilliant and talented Quentin Blake. I absolutely loved reading this book, as all of the poems are very well written and they bring back fond memories of my own childhood and getting to grips with poetry in primary school. I even came across one of my favourite poems in this book as well. The combination of Michael Rosen's poetry with Quentin Blake's illustrations results in a fantastic book, as the language is funny and engaging and the illustrations help to bring the poems to life. I think that this book would be a brilliant addition to any primary school classroom, as there are short simple poems for children in key stage 1 and more complex poems for children in key stage 2. This book can be used for subject support in English when pupils are learning about and writing their own poetry. The poems are meant to be read aloud and they would be great to act out and read aloud to a reception, year 1 or a year 2 class at the end of the school day. This book should be on every classroom shelf as it has a variety of uses (e.g. guided reading and subject support) and is very well written and the language used and the illustrations will help to hold the children's attention. Who is Michael Rosen? My first book for children was called Mind Your Own Business and it came out in 1974. Quentin Blake did wonderful line drawings for it. Ever since then, I’ve been doing these things: Writing books Writing articles for newspapers and magazines Going to schools, libraries and theatres and performing the poems in my books Helping children write poems and stories Making radio programmes, mostly about words, language or books Appearing on TV, either reading books, or talking about books Teaching at universities about children’s literature Running workshops for teachers about poetry In any week, I might be doing all of these things! To tell the truth, I don’t really know what I’m doing tomorrow, unless I look in my diary to see. #Michael Rosen #Kids #Poetry\n
