Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble is the perfect Children's spooky Poetry book and fits right in with it being October and Halloween.
I have to say this book is simply a delight to look at, the striking orange cover is eye catching and this is one of those books that feels special to hold and treasure. Would make the perfect gift.
The Poems are fun, quirky, humorous, some I already know which was so nice to see and bought back childhood memories.
Most of the poems had pictures which were beautifully illustrated and helped bring the poems to life.
Some of the wording might be a lil tricky for younger readers so I would definitely recommend giving a lil helping hand.
I definitely had some favourite poems, that had me giggling out loud.
Examples:
*Song of the Witches ( when the internet wasn't working) ,
*An Example of My Amazing Ability to make People Spontaneously Combust without even touching them
*The Witches Cookbook,
* How to Turn Your Teacher Purple
* The Magic Kitchen Carpet
* Ooshus Magooshus
* Song of the Witches from Macbeth
I loved the eclectic mix of old and new, with poems from the greats like Shakespeare and Lewis Carol, which was wonderful to see.
So as you can see this Captivating Poetry book really is a Magical Delight.
Children and Adults alike will indeed have lots of fun reading all the Enchanting Poems, and who knows it may just inspire you to create your own spooky poetry.
I can't recommend reading this gorgeous book enough, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
