Publisher's Synopsis
Suitable for children in Year 2 (age 6), Welcome Night is one of nine anthologies from the Cambridge Reading Poetry strand, compiled by Richard Brown and Kate Ruttle. Welcome Night, illustrated by Nick Maland, is an anthology of poems about the night from many different cultures: some poems are descriptive and atmospheric, others are about adventure and mystery, and some about the fear of 'things that go bump in the night' . . . . Includes poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, Walter de la Mare and Alfred Noyes. 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.
