Allan Ahlberg was one of the best children’s writers in the UK until his very recent death. This post will be updated but in the meantime, if you came here from Incy Appleseed’s 5 Best Poetry Books, read on.
Allan Ahlberg was best known for his stories not poetry. Yet Ahlberg was a brilliant poet. Rosen includes Ahlberg’s The Mighty Slide in Michael Rosen’s A-Z. Incy also adores Peepo and Each Peach Pear Plum, both poetry books by the Ahlbergs.
