Journey to the Centre of My Brain
I would make everybody buy a copy of this book. Fun to read to your child and an excellent use of words. I recommend the book to others. An excellent book, full of quiet, tender and fun poems for little ones. And not, thank goodness, twee and sentimental. This is a lovely introduction to poetry for young children.. What shines through is a real understanding of the target audience and the things that will appeal to them. A charming and tender collection written for the 'little bugs' that constantly absorb sights and sounds around them.
As a performer of poetry, James Carter writes with the exuberance he would give when delivering poems in person, and each one contains this lively enthusiasm both on and off the page. It is clear the poems mean a lot to Carter, and this is easily transferred to the reader. Children will find it absorbing and entertaining and adults will be reading with smiles written on their faces. Good poetry books for younger children are thin on the ground. The poems are modern — of these times. Want to know how to how to get a woolly mammoth to sleep?

With quarks and quasars, dynamos and dinosaurs, take a poetic look at science from the big bang to the end of the universe! What's great, green, slimey, stripey, brainy, zany, curious, cosmic and utterly mind-blowing? The poems in this book! There is a lack of quality poetry books available currently, and in the absence of good single—poet titles, this much needed anthology of non—rhyming poetry does exactly what it sets out to do.
It as a great mix of the little—known and the familiar, and provides serious insights alongside entertaining and humorous pieces. In addition, notes are provided to encourage children to try their hand at writing their own poems. Crafting genuinely effective poems for this age group is not easy and only a few poets have the skill.
James Carter manages to find depth in this well—crafted collection.
