Reviews

Lucy

Zim Zam Zoom is full of exciting, adventurous poems. It is a collection of 16 poems, all of which are perfect for reading aloud and are accompanied by cartoon illustrations. They are suitable for children of all ages but they are probably aimed at children aged 5+. Some of the poems would be useful to use during a poetry unit in English lessons but it would also be a lovely book to read to children at home. From animals, colours, music, foods and fairy tales, the poems include looking for a grumpy dragon, exploring fireworks and flying in a rocket! Poetry Book / Ages 5+ / Lucy Newton, teacher
