 Wonderful poetry, a couple gotchas November 23, 2008
A. Morrow
A couple things to note if you love Michael Rosen as we do.
1. The poetry in here has been Americanized. The "My Trainers" poem has been redone as "My Sneakers". This bothers me somehow and my son (age 5) reminds me that in our OTHER M R books, it's Trainers.
2. Only the cover and edges of pages feature any Quentin Blake artwork. This is not really a big deal as the words are clearly the best, but if your child (or you) are used to "You Can't Catch Me" or "Don't Put Mustard in the Custard", the wonderful art is missed.
I would like to have a complete compilation that features his work in the original words rather than this updated Americanized version, but this will do for now.
 Richie's Picks: THE BEST OF MICHAEL ROSEN September 23, 2006

This is the necessary companion to the highly-praised Michael Rosen's Sad Book. Michael Rosen is the consummate children's poet -- there is not a single clunky line in this entire collection of story poems.

If you have ever had children, have children or have taught children, this book will truly have you laughing while it melts your heart. I heard my first Michael Rosen poem at a literacy conference almost ten years ago. It took me almost as long to find an edition of his poetry. His story-like poems about his adventures growing up and about his young children are incredibly touching and hilarious. If you are a teacher, sharing these poems with your students will garantee you a rapt audience and give them a whole new slant on what poetry can be. Now, if only the rest of his books were available.....
