Collins Big Cat - Star-nosed Mole: Band 13/Topaz

Life on Earth can be stranger and more alien than anything you’ll find in outer space.

Join Carnegie-nominated poet Dom Conlon on a poetic journey to meet the most incredible, out-of-this-world creatures. This poetry collection has been beautifully illustrated by Rhian Davie.

Topaz/ Band 13 books offer longer and more demanding reads for children to investigate and evaluate.

Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support for exploring poetry, and stimulating activities.

Text type: A collection of poems
