Shut Your Mouth When You Are Eating | POEM | Kids' Poems and Stories With Michael Rosen
Michael Rosen performs Shut Your Mouth When You're Eating from ‘Mustard, Custard, Grumble Belly and Gravy’ (Bloomsbury Children’s Books).
"You Can't Catch Me" and "You Can't Put Mustard in the Custard" were first published twenty-five years ago and were groundbreaking in that they were full-colour illustrated new poems for children.
"You Can't Catch Me" won the Signal Poetry Award in 1982. Both books went on to be bestsellers and both poet and artist are stellar names in the world of children's books. The book includes an introduction by Michael Rosen. Michael's brilliantly conversational poetry is fantastically matched by Quentin Blake's loopy yet perfectly detailed art. It is a partnership that Bloomsbury is proud to make available.
Review -
A brilliant colour illustrated poetry book which is packed full of amusing language! I absolutely loved reading this book, as all of the poems are very well written and they bring back fond memories of my own childhood and getting to grips with poetry in primary school. I even came across one of my favourite poems in this book as well. I think that this book would be a brilliant addition to any primary school classroom, as there are short simple poems for children in key stage 1 and more complex poems for children in key stage 2. This book can be used for subject support in English when pupils are learning about and writing their own poetry. The poems are meant to be read aloud and they would be great to act out and read aloud to a reception, year 1 or a year 2 class at the end of the school day. This book should be on every classroom shelf as it has a variety of uses (e.g. guided reading and subject support) and is very well written and the language used and the illustrations will help to hold the children's attention.
Who is Michael Rosen?
My first book for children was called Mind Your Own Business and it came out in 1974. Quentin Blake did wonderful line drawings for it.
Ever since then, I’ve been doing these things:
Writing books
Writing articles for newspapers and magazines
Going to schools, libraries and theatres and performing the poems in my books
Helping children write poems and stories
Making radio programmes, mostly about words, language or books
Appearing on TV, either reading books, or talking about books
Teaching at universities about children’s literature
Running workshops for teachers about poetry
In any week, I might be doing all of these things! To tell the truth, I don’t really know what I’m doing tomorrow, unless I look in my diary to see.
INTERVIEW
What does poetry mean to you?
It mostly means 'saying important things in small spaces'. It can also mean 'memorable speech', 'making the familiar unfamiliar and the unfamiliar familiar', it can mean 'finding out what a moment can come to represent' and talking of moments, poetry can be the moment that a story or a play didn't have time to tell us.
Why is poetry important for children?
Most of education is concerned with getting things finished, right and put away in exercise books. Reading and writing poetry is another way of looking at the world: it can involve being suggestive, tentative and tangential. It has the potential of raising more questions than it can answer. It can scavenge the world's utterances for material which it recycles, parodies, cuts up, re-arranges, often with the result of letting us see how language works. This means that poetry is good at revealing our deceptions, self-deceptions, exaggerations. It can also examine how it is we look at the world through language - that's to say, how we 'textualise' the world. Poetry is wonderful at both doing this but also in investigating how we do it.
How would you describe your poetry?
A lot of it is interested in recounting foibles, misunderstandings, small disasters. Another chunk of it is nearer to traditional nonsense poetry. Some of it is based very strongly in people's speech.
What do you think children get from your poems?
I hope that they get to see aspects of themselves, and aspects of their parents in many of the poems. I hope that this gives them permission to have a go at writing things like that themselves and to read many other poets' poems.
What advice can you give to aspiring poets?
Find some poets and poetry you really like. Copy out or learn bits of it. Keep a notebook of words, phrases, ideas, that you find or think of. Read your notebook and see if it triggers off things to write.
Thanks for reading
