Product Description

Product Description

Hilarious, lyrical, outrageous and serious poems all rub shoulders in this collection. Naughty children with nasty habits, cartoon heroes that come to life, lonely caretakers, unhappy ghosts, fantastical creatures with crazy names, giants, goblins, vampires, mermaids ... there's never a dull moment in this marvellously quirky and refreshing brew!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Exercise for the Imagination, 18 Nov 2000
This book will do wonders to stimulate the imagination of children (and adults). Its scary, entertaining, and above all fun... I'm an adult who loves it. English State schools stock it in their class libraries - which is how I read it by accident!!
