It’s the Sound of the Thing by Maxine Beneba Clarke, Hardie Grant Children’s Publishing, ISBN 9781761212123
REVIEWED BY NINA, 10, NSW. Nina received a review copy of this book.
Maxine Beneba Clarke’s book It’s the Sound of the Thing is a stunning collection of 100 poems that features limericks, haikus, sonnets, tongue twisters, funny poems, serious poems any type of poem you could think of. The ideas for the poems are creative and fantastic! They are about all sorts of things (a messy room, your grannies dancing, phones, teenagers and more).
Good for readers of all ages but best suited for ages 8-12 years old. It makes you wonder what type of poem will come next.
I personally rate this book 10/10. I would highly recommend reading it.
