CHILDREN'S POETRY

Children's Poetry Bookshelf
The PBS runs the only children’s poetry book club in the world. The CPB Selectors choose the best new and backlist children's poetry written for 7-11 year-olds. The parents, teachers and librarians who are members of our Children's Poetry Bookshelf receive a parcel of books every term, together with children’s activity sheets if they sign up for them. (see right panel).

 

All CPB Members receive

2 or 3 of the best new poetry books for 7-11 year olds every term



Teacher and Librarian Members of the CPB receive

2 or 3 of the best new poetry books for 7-11 year olds every term

poetry posters, teaching tips and discussion ideas related to the selected books

Collections and anthologies
Each term, CPB Selectors pick the best single author collection and the best anthology of poetry suitable for 7-11 year olds.

All CPB members receive these two books each term - but Premium members also receive a third recommended book - either a single author collection or an anthology.
