I always suspected that my pet had something to say - and now Roger Stevens has confirmed that pets can even write poems. What a novel idea and what a brilliant way to interest children in reading. I love the idea of the dog who keeps dutifully returning the stick, all the time wondering why her owner keeps throwing it away and then asking her to fetch it back. I particularly like Mr Stevens' own poems, but the others that he has gathered together all have something to interest and all are fun. Children relate to animals and this is a book they will love.
