Talking Turkeys




Puffin Poetry - the place to go for the very best in children's poetry.

One of the coolest poets for children, Benjamin Zephaniah's Talking Turkeys has something to say!
Talking Turkeys is the very first ground-breaking children's poetry collection from street poet Benjamin Zephaniah. Playful, clever and provocative, this is performance poetry on the page at its very best.

Praise for Talking Turkeys

Zephaniah is the reigning king of children's poetry... He has an unselfconscious relish for language and word-play that never strays into the patronising dee-dum-dee-dum-dee-dum territory of so much of children's poetry: his are poems that bounce up from the page and demand to be read, rapped, sung and hip-hopped aloud.

Independent on Sunday

This is poetry with attitude.

The Times

A delight to read aloud.
