beautifully produced...a celebration of science and poetry. (Bookfest)
Just as inspirational, informative and entertaining as the previous work from this talented author and illustrator... The poet is never afraid to mix, match and juxtapose scientific or personal imagery, and this gives them great warmth and wit and the power to stimulate the reader to think, look, feel and, yes, laugh!
The illustrations enhance the poems and are full of detailed references in their own right. They are often fully integrated into the poems on the page, which enriches the anthology and enhances the poetic rhythms and scientific concepts. The book will be particularly useful in schools, both in science lessons and in the literacy hour.
This is a truly wonderful anthology, stimulating and thought-provoking, readers will return again and again to these enriching poems.
Only Agard could achieve this ... the true Poetsonian linking poetry with every area of life, while
retaining the satirical spirit of the Caribbean calypsonian. Kitamura's simple and powerful illustrations
are perfectly matched to these lively, loving and humourous poems ... every poem is an inspiration and an invitation to find out more ... Brilliant!
Praise for EINSTEIN, THE GIRL WHO HATED MATHS
'Hilarious ..will convert even the most reluctant mathematician to the fun to be had with numbers.' - Carousel
'Provides rich oportunities for linking maths with literacy ... You can count on [this book] to fascinate, engage and ignite an enthusiastic response to learn more about the magic of maths and the power of poetry.' - TES Teacher
Full of wonder and excitement at the discoveries of science, this is another highly original collection of poems from one of Britain's leading poets, uniquely complemented by the witty and entertaining illustrations of a much acclaimed children's books illustrator. Certain to be enjoyed by all who have an interest in science and the natural world, this collection is poetry of the highest order. Providing numerous links between literacy and science and therefore ideal for cross-curricular work in the classroom, subjects range from water vapour to the wind, from robots to outer space, from physics to chemistry and biology. Always entertaining, often thought-provoking and sometimes deeply moving, this is a collection to treasure and return to time and again.
