GIVE A CHILDREN'S POETRY BOOKSHELF GIFT MEMBERSHIP


Children are natural poets. Andrew Motion likens a child’s fascination with language to a “bucket-load of magical qualities that needs to be carried, unspilled.” The Children’s Poetry Bookshelf aims to encourage younger readers to hold onto and develop those magical qualities.

For a £40 Standard membership, you can give a child in your life:

• 2 new poetry books 3 times a year, chosen by our expert children’s poetry selectors
• 25% off most UK children’s poetry books
• An optional set of activity sheets to help the child get the most out of reading poetry
• A backlist selection of a further 5 discounted titles to choose from
• A website, www.childrenspoetrybookshelf.co.uk, offering poetry puzzles and quizzes.

For a £55 Premium membership, you can give all of the above plus 3 extra poetry books annually.

Whichever membership you choose, the child will also receive copies of The Poetry Store and A Year Full of Poems as a welcoming gift.


Call +44 (0) 20 7833 9247 or email info@childrenspoetrybookshelf.co.uk to set up a gift membership with a personalised message, or to find out about the other memberships we offer.

For more information about our children's poetry book club for 7-11 year-olds please visit www.childrenspoetrybookshelf.co.uk.
