This is a collection of poems chosen by Julia Donaldson because they lend themselves to performance by two or more voices. The book, which is illustrated with expressive lino cuts, is perfect for classroom use and fun for families too. The poems range from classics by Edward Lear, W H Auden and Eleanor Farjeon to contemporary work by Michael Rosen, John Agard and Clare Bevan, and there are notes at the end with Julia’s suggestions for performance.
