Michael Rosen 
Michael Rosen’s Big Book of Bad Things 

A wonderfully exuberant yet poignant poetry collection from one of Britain’s greatest children’s poets Michael Rosen. Here are tales of childhood, from the horrors of being late for school, to making a raft, and going to a cafe, as well as poems to ponder — just think, how great would Satnav trousers be! Touching, light-hearted and funny, Michael’s poems will delight readers young and old.Former Children’s Laureate, Michael continuously promotes the need for children’s poetry in our education system, and this collection, first published in 2010, has something for everyone.
