Publisher's Synopsis
Suitable for children in Year 2 (age 6), A Corner of Magic is one of nine anthologies from the Cambridge Reading Poetry strand, compiled by Richard Brown and Kate Ruttle. A Corner of Magic, illustrated by Francesca Pelizzoli, features poems that tell a story: some are humorous, some mysterious, some recounting strange adventures or fantastical events. Well-known poems, such as The Owl and the Pussycat are included along with more unusual and unfamiliar choices. Cambridge Reading at Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) offers fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays to introduce children to a variety of text types, authors and illustrators and provide a firm base for wider reading. This pack of 6 is for guided group reading.
