Harry Horse was born in Coventry. He wrote and illustrated several
children's books - including THE LAST POLAR BEARS and THE OGOPOGO,
which won the Scottish Arts Council Writers' Award. He was
well-known as a political cartoonist and produced cartoons for the
New Yorker, The Guardian, Scotland on Sunday and The Scotsman.
Harry died in 2007.
Michael Rosen is a poet with a superb ear for the rhythms of
language
*Guardian*
One of our most popular writers – the champion for every bored,
overdrilled, tested-to-tears pupil in the land
*The Times*
I think poetry for children needs to be saved from the cold
dissection of right and wrong answers and put back into rooms and
halls full of wonder, compassion, haunting, laughter, music and
rhythm. We need to hear its many cultures, many voices, many
sounds. This is about wide and diverse participation. Diverse verse
for all!
*Michael Rosen, Children's Laureate 2007-2009*
