These Islands : A Collection of New Zealand Verse for Young People by Gwenyth Jones

These Islands is the first collection of New Zealand Poetry to be chosen especially for girls and boys of aboout eight and upwards. Many children in this age group are eager to read poetry written by New Zealanders on New Zealand themes, and parents and teachers alike will enjoy reading with them. The poems are grouped around twelve themes which together make up the world - both real and imaginary - of young people: a world of city and country, the seasons and their weather, fellow creatures of all kinds, beaches, harbours and ships, the extraordinary and the mysterious. Some of the themes are unfamiliar; others, though familiar, are approched in new ways. This collection, illustrated with apt and evocative photographs, leads the young reader to a real appreciation of New Zealand and its poetry. In doing so it will sharpen the senses and enrich the imagination.
