Rhyme & Reason is all about children and poetry: books full of rhythm to read aloud, lively workshops that get whole classes writing, and a place to share the poems they create.
Poetry books for children, written to be read out loud, shared at bedtime and remembered long after.

Plan a workshop →A showcase for poems written by young people — shared with care and with permission.
Read and share →Rhyme gives children the reason to listen, and poems give them the reason to write.
Poems are short, musical and full of surprises. They are one of the easiest ways into reading aloud, and one of the most rewarding ways to start writing — no child needs to fill a page to create something they are proud of.
Our seasonal workshops turn the year's big moments into writing prompts.
Blossom, lambs, rain and new beginnings.
Seaside, sunshine and long light evenings.
Bonfires, fireworks and crunchy leaves.
Frost, snow, midnight skies and festivals.
Poems shared by children and young people. These cards show the layout — add poems you have permission to publish.
Poems belong to the children who wrote them. We only publish work with a parent's, carer's or teacher's permission, and we never show personal details.
Schools, libraries and groups can book a workshop, order books or simply ask a question.
