Ranging from the deliberately daft (e.g. Meet my Folks, the Moon poems) to the serious but accessible (e.g. Season Songs), this collection brings together all the poetry for children Hughes wrote in one place. Nevermind the kids - read it yourself and see Hughes' more light-hearted and comedic side. ( )

10/12 Update - Z has returned to this book and is loving it. We're about half through and the verse is getting increasingly challenging and often surreal. Sometimes super scary and often laugh-out-loud funny.

A delightful collection of poems to share with children. An absolute joy to read! Most annoying that none of my children like it in fact I get howls no not poetry when I try to get it out... ( )

There is a Ted Hughes For New Work in Poetry Award given by the Poetry Society every year. This book is a collection of poetry put together and copyrighted by his Estate.
