A Whale of a Time is a gorgeous poetry collection for readers of all ages. This weighty book feels really special. Containing funny, charming, thought-provoking poems for each day of the entire year, this book will be read again and again. Matt Hunt’s colourful illustrations are incredibly eye-catching and add so much to children’s understanding and resulting giggles.
Younger readers will love sharing A Whale of a Time with their adults. Whether it’s a bedtime read or class read aloud, the thrill of reading a poem independently, or memorising a poem for the very first time, there is so much enjoyment to be found in these pages. Slightly older readers will find pleasure in considering the language of the poems, making comparisons between them and using them as high-quality models for their own writing.
This book is perfect for poetry recitations. Schools will be able to celebrate language, poetry and poets with something for everyone. From a four-line poem about fireflys to the iconic “Talking Turkeys”, A Whale of a Time has it all – a perfect gift book for children, teachers and schools.
