A Slightly Larger Book of Kick-Arse Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473266127)

Full of crazy poems which will make you laugh out loud. You may see yourself in them, or they may remind you of your children or grandchildren. In this follow-up to "A Small Book of Kick-Arse Poetry" Lissa Judd again focuses on the 12-15 tear-old who is reading-averse, but she succeeds in producing a book with wide appeal. The Kick-Arse Poetry books strive to entice those with poor reading skills who flounder at the edge of education systems: those who may have learned that reading is an onerous task with few rewards. These books attempt to engage the disengaged. Underpinning the wacky verse is a deliberate strategy to improve vocabulary and enhance self-esteem. They champion the average and the ordinary, and uplift the weary and downtrodden. A glossary has been included in this book - a breath of fresh air that blows away dull dictionary pages and replaces them with definitions and examples that are as hilarious as the poetry.
