DescriptionThis is a fun and educational poetry app for school-age children and for adults of any age. This app is for the iPhone/iPod Touch only. We have created a separate app for the iPad.Apple has put us in 'New and Noteworthy', 'What's Hot' and number 1 'Staff Favourites'. Chosen by The Sunday Times and The Spectator as one of their top iBooks of the year. Download now! This latest version with 270 poems has brilliantly entertaining audio from the award-winning actors Helena Bonham Carter, Bill Nighy, Tom Hiddleston and Harry Enfield. The Times newspaper put iF Poems on their front page and gave it a rave recommendation. The Times Literary editor, Erica Wagner, writes: "You will have more than 200 classic poems at your fingertips, all of them (yes, I do mean all of them) perfect to read and recite for children and adults alike. It's the first poetry app for children, but grown-ups will get a great deal out of it, too." The Guardian newspaper, in December 2011 writes: "So rare are the occasions when poetry tops a bestseller list that it would be a missed opportunity not to congratulate the iF Poems app...(poems) are jauntily read by Helena Bonham Carter and Bill Nighy and are accompanied by some quirky biographical sketches - John Clare: 'There was never enough to eat when he was young, which may have been the reason he was 5ft tall' " And Vogue magazine, You magazine, Sunday Times and Intelligent Life (The Economist) have all recommended iF Poems. We are thrilled about all this, of course. 10% of all sales goes to help fund the work of Save the Children. iF Poems has 270 classic poems from Lear's "The Owl And The Pussycat" to Belloc's "Matilda Who Told Lies And Was Burned To Death" to Yeats's "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death". We have recently added poems by Wendy Cope, Carol Ann Duffy, A A Milne and Ted Hughes. All the poems, we think, are a joy to pass down the generations, to share, to educate and enjoy. You can record yourself reading a poem. You can email a poem and email your recording of a poem. You can tap on any word for a dictionary definition. You can save poems to a Favourites page. You can search by title, author, first line or by any word. You can get a dictionary definition of any word. Easy and fun to navigate, you can search by section. For example, you can look for a Funny poem, a War poem or a poem for Bedtime. You can also search by age. We have separated the poems into three age groups: age 0-6, 7-12, and 13 and over. It is a carefully chosen selection. There are poems by T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden, Siegfried Sassoon, Lewis Carroll, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Rupert Brooke, William Shakespeare, Lord Byron, Edgar Allen Poe and many, many others. If only there was an app that could educate as well as entertain... If only there was an app that used words instead of weapons... If only your children could discover the wonders of writing and poetry on their own terms, at their own speed... Imagine if their teachers were two of the finest actors of their generation... iF Poems Audio Readers: Helena Bonham Carter, Bill Nighy, Tom Hiddleston and Harry Enfield. Illustrator: Natasha Law.
