Eloise Greenfield's fabulous "Thinker: My Puppy Poet and Me" with illustrations by Ehsan Abdollahi is a superb selection of poems written to engage young minds and get you thinking - just like Thinker does!
Seven-year-old Jace and his puppy Thinker are poets, putting everything they do into verse, from going to the park and philosophising to playing ball.
One day they’ll have the whole world figured out. For now, though, Thinker has to keep quiet in public, and he can’t go to school with Jace – he might recite a poem, and then Jace’s friends will say he’s weird.
But when Pets’ Day comes, and Thinker is allowed into the classroom at last, he finds it harder than he expected to keep his rhyming skills a secret.
It's a really awesome poetry book and we loved reading these out loud, letting them dance off our tongues.
