Guest Wolfie Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) I've read a few threads on here from people who have read some of Peter Dixon's poems and articles and have been trying to get hold of some for a few weeks. I've finally tracked down and been able to buy his book called "Let Me Be - a book for parents, teachers and all those concerned about early years education". I would thoroughly recommend it - it's full of useful ( if alarming) facts, Peter's poems and general "ammunition"against the rising tide of policies, statistics, targets, etc. being applied to early years at the expense of allowing children a "proper" childhood!! Extremely readable and easy to dip in and out of. I got mine from Amazon - although it said it would be dispatched in 4-6 weeks it actually came within two days! But I think you can also get it from his home address - he always does the back page column in EYE and the contact details are in there. You won't be disappointed!

Guest Keen Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hi Wolfie I so agree about Peter Dixon - I heard him speak in Bath a few years ago and was inspired to buy his books. My favourite poem to read to parents, advisers etc is Colour of my Dreams and the one that really makes a tear come to my ey is Booster Boy.
