Eddie's looking at me. Big grin on his face. I knew he had done it. Last week he put pepper in the raisins. The yucky things your borther does, the annoying things your parents say, the funny things you feel. Michael Rosen knows all about YOU! Look inside and see if he's spotted your deepest, darkest secrets. A much-loved classic of family life from the brilliant Michael Rosen & Quentin Blake.

Review This for me is the greatest collection of children’s poems. My well-thumbed copy was always an essential part of my teaching equipment when I was teaching in Primary schools and it saved me many times during my career. How much I loved the enthusiasm that the children always had for these poems, especially the sequence of Eddie poems, which is what makes this collection stand out from the rest of Rosen’s work. In recent years these poems have added poignancy as Rosen’s son Eddie died from meningitis as a young man. This group of poems dotted throughout the book provides a memorial more vivid than baby photographs. “Eddie in Bed,” “Eddie & The Wallpaper”, “Eddie & The Nappy”, and “Eddie & The Birthday,” in particular are brilliant snapshots of life with a toddler. Poems that recall episodes in the poet’s past are full of the vitality of children’s language, something Rosen does so well, together with the tinge of guilt of recalling past ‘naughty moments’, which speaks directly to children hearing or reading these. “Washing Up”, “Chocolate Cake”, “The Watch”, “Go Kart” and “Gymnastics” take all adults back to their own childhoods and are superb examples of accessible poetry. I’d also like to single out a quieter poem, that when teaching I tended to overlook. “Platforms” is a sweet, mellow tale about waiting for a loved one and its inherent sense of anticipation, boredom and relief. In just a few lines Michael Rosen is able to encapsulate so much. You get a real blast of personal nostalgia just reading this. When teaching I was lucky enough to book Michael Rosen to come and talk to the pupils on a couple of occasions (at different schools) and children love this man. This book explains why. Thanks to - Reviewsreviews Go behind the scenes and see how our videos are made 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
