What is A Green Poetry Paintbox about?

A lively collection of poems for young readers, exploring the world through rhythm, rhyme and playful imagination. Meet enormous dinosaurs, tiny minibeasts and snowmen, then set off in rockets, launch lifeboats and splash through rain and water. The poems also introduce recycling, emergencies and other everyday surprises, alongside fanciful characters such as rain-giants. With a bright mix of familiar and unexpected subjects, this anthology invites children aged five and over to enjoy reading, performing and discovering poetry.
