Overview

Herrick is at his best when he writes about the simple things in a child's everyday life such as family, sport, school, food and puzzled comments on the adult world. There's lots of energy underlying this collection which will encourage young people to read the poetry aloud and perhaps inspire them to write their own. Adults and children will have fun meeting the kids from 5b including Billy, Anna, Sarah, Alex, Emily and Michael and their long suffering teacher, Ms Batlow.
