GIVE A CPB GIFT MEMBERSHIP

Children are natural poets. Andrew Motion likens a child’s fascination with language to a
“bucket-load of magical qualities that needs to be carried, unspilled.” The Children’s Poetry Bookshelf aims to encourage
younger readers to hold onto and develop those magical qualities. For a £40 Standard membership, you can give a child in your life:
• 2 new poetry books 3 times a year, chosen by our expert children’s poetry selectors
• 25% off most UK children’s poetry books
• An optional set of activity sheets to help the child get the most out of reading poetry
• A backlist selection of a further 5 discounted titles to choose from
For a £55 Premium membership, you can give all of the above plus 3 extra poetry books annually.
Whichever membership you choose, the child will also receive a copy of The Poetry Store as a welcoming gift.
