Synopsis: This CD contains a brand new selection of the very best poems by Paul Cookson. Hear about: The salmon with the hat on, Superman's dog, The amazing Captain Concorde.

Review: This is a useful collection of poems for any primary classroom. Rather than just having a collection of poems read by the author, Paul Cookson explains how some of the poems came about, his inspiration, the process he went through, thoughts on the poems and some suggestions of which poems work well together.Although reading poetry is fantastic, you can't beat hearing the poem being read by the poet. Paul Cookson makes you smile with his lighthearted poems and stop and think with some of the more serious ones. There is even a ukele thrown in! This CD will be a fantastic resource for anyone using Paul Cookson's work in poetry sessions.
