Poems For Underage Thinkers
(Mike Jenkins, Pont Books, 2004)
1 full colour illustration and 8 black&white illustrations
A poetry book with the best title ever, by the Merthyr poet Mike Jenkins, aimed at older children / young teens.
The poems are funny, easy to understand and good as starting points to get young people thinking beyond the "obvious", or mainstream media view of things. He's a poet with a social conscience and obviously wants to pass that message on to his readers, which he succeeds in doing in the least patronising manner possible.
Loved the poems. Good fun this was!
