More about Michael Rosen

Michael Rosen is one of the UK's finest poets for children and has been instrumental in opening up children's access to poetry in ordinary language that children actually use. He is the author of many collections of poems for children including Quick, Let's Get Out of Here and Michael Rosen's Book of Very Silly Poems. He was named the 2007-2009 children's laureate this year, in recognition of his substantial contribution to children's literature.
