A Kid in My Class

They're all here...every kid in the class has their own poem. The pushy one, the shy one. The whizz kid and the daydreamer. The best-friender and the kid who runs in his wheelchair. The tough kid, the poet. And not forgetting the class hamster.

This collection from an outstanding poet, Rachel Rooney, winner of the CLiPPA Award, is perfectly matched by the amazing witty and inventive illustrations by Chris Riddell, the former UK Children’s Laureate.

'This moreish collection of poems about a class full of characters is beautifully written and illustrated and will ring bells with all children about their own behaviour and that of their schoolmates.' – The Sunday Times

'Rooney evokes children's perspectives with empathy. The poignancy and humour of these character sketches are heightened by their illustrations.' – Guardian

'I absolutely love this children’s poetry book.' – David Walliams

'Thought-provoking and fun.' – The Week Junior

'Full of both emotion, and knowledge of the classroom, this is a superb collection, brilliantly illustrated. Poetry has never seemed more alive and more relevant.' – Minerva Reads

'There is not one weak point in this wonderful collection.' – Poetry Zone
