The Creative Imperative
Since its recent publication this book has been in huge demand. Written initially for teachers and parents it has found a wider audience with all those who want to better understand the Creative process fully. It explores how to encourage and facilitate creativity in spoken and written word, as well as through thought, painting, drawing and crafting, plus drama and imagination. This book helps teachers to “unravel the mystery of creativity” in a positive, fulfilling and structured way.
This book is a hardback and is written in such a way that it embraces the reader and interprets everyday experiences in an original and novel manner. Correspondence with the author since its publication has been almost overwhelming. Beautifully illustrated throughout.

Images of Childhood
This book has a carefully selected sequence of sayings and photographs which illuminate our understanding of the world of children. Now in its fifth edition it is a “must have” for anyone who is fascinated by what makes childhood so special.
The quotations in this book have been gathered together over a number of years as a result of numerous requests from teachers. They cover schools, creative arts, literacy, numeracy, sciences, childhood and the world around us. Bringing them together in this way is a celebration of the shared beliefs in working with children.

Read it Again
A partner book to Images of childhood, this book is filled with poems and photographs which describe different aspects of how both adults and children view the world. Thought provoking, enthralling and emotive. Roger has used the poems at various times with both teachers and children. The book came about as a result of many people asking him to collect these poems together in order that others may share them.

Classroom Organisation and Management
This book was written as a direct result of requests from teachers who Roger has worked with over the years rearranging classrooms, store cupboards or even whole schools!

Special Offer – Classroom Organisation, Management, Display and Presentation
This twin pack brings together two important, complimentary books (203/09 & 204/09) that will enable any teacher to improve their classroom environment and enhance childrens’ learning.
Both these books were written specifically for the benefit of teachers working with young children. They are full of practical help and guidance and evaluate many of the fundamental principles which can be found in successful schools. Since these two aspects of teaching and learning are frequently overlooked in discussions about best practice in primary education, these books are essential guidebooks to both new and experienced teachers alike.
