As soon as I started reading this sample I knew that I would have to order the book for our bookshelf. I may even buy individual copies for Christmas, surely the best gift you can give is a year of laughter !

I only had the sample edition to read, but having just read a snippet of this collection of poems I know that other readers are going to be in for a real treat.
The variety of poems is fantastic, some had me laughing, others had me nodding along thinking "so true". I'm sure there's plenty of poems in this collection that will appeal to every type of poetry fan out there.

The artwork is beautiful, and one of the things which really drew me to this book.
The colours pop on the page and the art is themed towards the poems featured on each page.

It's a really fun read.

It's a good thing 2024 is a leap year so all 366 poems in this anthology will get an accurate airing. I love a book where you read a designated poem or excerpt of a novel each day and the cheerfully bright illustrations add a smile each time you venture between the covers of this special book.

Whilst I have to admit I didn't recognise all the talented individuals included in this sample, there were a reassuring number of familiar ones and I imagine the same will be said for the whole book. It will be fun to become acquainted with new poets throughout the year.

I was able to read a sample of this thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Nosy Crow, but the opinions expressed are my own. This is a great way to start a nighttime routine and explore some excellent poetry at the same time. Recommended.

I have only read the sample but this is a brilliant anthology of poetry which children will love. There is a wide variety of topics, types of poems and styles which will appeal to all. I like the idea of havimg a poem to read and discuss each day too either with family or in a school setting. The illustrations are vibrant and bring the poems to life too.

Nosy Crow's series of poetry books has been one of the highlights of the Christmas season for the last few years for me, This year's title is going to be just as amazing, from this short extract.

Happily the publishers have offered a sample of pages from across the whole year rather than just one section, so this gave me a good chance to see some different months. I can see that there are witches at Hallowe'en, so I'm sure there will be other themed sections as well, and there also seems to be some grouping of similar poems together.

I love the illustrations; it's all the same illustrator, but he's managed to vary his style here and there and he also cleverly makes the same illustration serve a couple of poems. I can't wait to spend some time poring over the whole book!

A fabulous addition to the series, and one I'm really looking forward to reading.

I've been looking for a new poetry anthology for my classroom and I believe I've found it!
I savoured every poem in the sample and found myself reading them out loud and chuckling away to myself as I did so. I particularly enjoyed January 1st, the elephants in February, May 17th and September 4th. Each poem is accompanied by gorgeous colourful illustrations which are the perfect complement. My class love poetry and every day we select a poem to read and share together and I know my children will enjoy devouring all of the treats within this anthology by poets both familiar and new too.
I can't wait to be able to purchase a copy for myself.

Thank you NetGalley and Nosey Crow for this eCopy to review

We loved the sample poems, the illustrations really brought the poems to life and they caused plenty of laughter in fact we had a whale of a time reading them, they were such fun with lots of rhymes and tongue twister bits! Will definitely be on our Christmas list to get a copy

A poetry lover's delight.

Absolutely adored the rich variety of poetry nestled within the pages of this collection. Great to see Joshua Seigal's I Don't Like Poetry and loved Try from Joseph Coehlo, pleased to see words from Langston Hughes and Valerie Bloom in there too. What wonderful delights to read out loud!

Matt Hunt's artwork is glorious - filled with adventure and joy.

It is a great anthology of happy poems. It is beautifully illustrated. With the wide variety of poems on offer, it will be a valuable source of inspiration for teaching poems.
