Pillow Talk - a book of poems
Steven Guarnaccia
Roger McGough plays serious games with words in this splendid collection. He prises words apart then sets them up in new patterns that suddenly make something fresh, funny and unexpected - 'Tuna sandwiches' for instance is short, deceptively simple and incredibly clever. I read it with my class of Y6s and they wanted to try it too. I loved the alternative version of 'The Sun has got his hat on' - it could brighten up assembly no end. We explored the style of 'She thinks she's it' - brilliantly constructed, mind-numbingly difficult to do!
