My Review

Happy Publication Day to this gorgeous book! It was a really lovely read and perfect for getting in the Christmas spirit especially from the beginning of December!

It contains 31 poems both old and new. My modern favourites were The Computer’s First Christmas Card by Edwin Morgan, Talking Turkeys by Benjamin Zephaniah, Motorway Music by Wendy Cope, Needles and On the Thirteenth Day by Brian Bilston!

I also loved reading some of the more traditional Christmas Carols like In the Bleak Midwinter by Christina Rosseti, The Holly and the Ivy, We Wish you a Merry Christmas, and Jingle Bells.

Highly recommended for families or anyone who wants to enjoy poetry at Christmas.

Thanks so much to Amanda at Moonflower books for my PDF copy
