'Children will enjoy dipping into this irresistable collection...They speak directly to children, using natural language and cover a wide range of emotions...' --Carousel Supplement (Christmas 2008)
Product Description
It isn't easy to come up with a title for a brilliant new poetry collection to top The Secret Life of Pants. A title with total kid appeal, a title to suggest the wide variety of themes and styles covered from scary poems, to classics, to nonsense poems. Here are some of Roger Stevens' first thoughts:
What News of the Lemmings?
Confusing a Spink with a Snipe
Playing Basket Ball with a Bull Dog
When the Whiting Needs a Wipe
The Twelve Starfish of the Zodiac
The Secret of Prairie Dog's Box
Why Alligators love Elevators
Why Otters Don t Wear Socks...
But when Roger suggested Let s Recycle Grandad the search was finally over. A title alluding to the environmental themes covered within the collection, but with a characteristic touch of the bizarre how could anyone resist?
