Shoham Smith
A bedtime-resisting child turns a family party into an increasingly lively affair, before the guests leave and everyone is ready for sleep. The rhyming, humorous setup centres on family life.
Ruth Forman
A warm, place-rich collection of poems about children’s summer play, friendship and family life in South Philadelphia, accompanied by vivid paintings.
Marc Brown
Expect a participatory collection rather than a continuous story: rhymes are paired with finger gestures, illustrations and occasional counting, tickling or laughter. Its main appeal is doing the words together, not following a sustained plot.
Julia Finley Mosca
This offers an accessible introduction to a pioneering doctor and inventor, combining a poetic life story with scientific and historical detail. Its strongest appeal is the connection between personal ambition, medical discovery and wider questions of equality.
Benjamin Zephaniah
Expect lively, performative poems alongside serious real-world concerns. The collection can invite laughter, close attention to word choice and discussion about fairness, nature, animal treatment and how poetry communicates ideas.
This is a gentle, participatory read-aloud built around rhyme, repetition and counting. Its central pleasure is noticing both the individuality of babies and the shared features that connect them.
Tiffany D. Jackson
This is a friendship-centred mystery shaped by rap, ambition and grief. Its energy comes alongside serious material: murdered characters, gang involvement, crack dealing, police violence, drinking, explicit language and sexual-consent discussions.
Michael Rosen, illustrated by David Tazzyman
This is a performance-friendly poetry collection: playful sounds, repeated rhyme, comic images and short narratives offer opportunities to laugh, listen, join in and notice how words work.
