Description:... Many teachers and pupils find poetry problematic. Andrews argues that we can make poetry accessible to children, we can build bridges between written and oral forms, and that all children can benefit from writing poetry alongside reading and discussing it; and one of the distinguishing features of this book is its focus on the importance of rhythm in poetry.
