‘His poems toggle between old memories and future dreams with panache… little gems for readers of seven-plus.’

THE TELEGRAPH

‘He was one of the first poets of his generation writing for the young to draw closely on his own childhood experiences and to ‘tell it as it was’ in the ordinary language children actually use… the advent of writers like Rosen has changed the face of children’s poetry.’
