'If you feel as though your life is lacking a bit of poetry, this is an excellent place to start' – Best Poetry Books of the Year, The Times Review: A much loved gift - I bought this for my dad who is very hard to buy for. He loved it Review: Lovely anthology that in the main is child friendly - I saw this book in Waterstones and instantly fell in love with it. Cheaper and delivered to the door made my choice of purchase obvious. This book comes after the partner book "A Poem for every night of the Year". The book is, in the main, child friendly (maybe 7+) , but prepare for lots of conversations for some of them and they're probably more read to children rather than read by them. Content is a little trickier than the night book. Lovely range of silliness to quite serious topics from a broad spectrum of poets meaning you can expose yourself and your children to appropriate poetry choices that you may never have read before. The book is a lovely reminder of the importance of poetry and challenging language experienced by children growing up. Having a poem a day means that you can always get some guidance for what to read. There are very well and simply written introductory paragraphs for each daily entry that help provide context for the choice. Open a page and you get a wash of contentedness having read the choice for the evening. A great read at any time of the day to delve into and explore whatever the date. ## Features - A Poem For Every Day Of The Year - Publisher: Macmillan Children Books - Product type: ABIS BOOK - Language: English ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 5,125 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 20 in Literary Criticism & Collections for Children 90 in Stories in Verse for Children (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,725 Reviews | ## Images ![A Poem for Every Day of the Year: A beautiful poetry collection for the whole family to share: 7 (A Poem for Every Day and Night of the Year, 7) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1PwvzCsmkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A much loved gift *by K***H on 9 February 2026* I bought this for my dad who is very hard to buy for.
