There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and more than a few quiet ones, too, in this outstanding new collection from one of the UK's top children's poets. Roger Stevens' work is always infused with a lively mix of wit and wisdom, and this latest batch of poems doesn't disappoint. The silliness of `Farewell, Pete' (I had a little dinosaur/Nothing would it eat/But a chocolate cupcake/And my best mate, Pete...) is nicely balanced with the subtlety of such pieces as `Silent Song'. Add in standout poems like `The Brown Bear',(In a dark wood/In a clearing/Sleeps a brown bear/Dreaming, dreaming...) and you have a book that is thoroughly engaging throughout. With a variety of verse forms, both rhymed and unrhymed, and subjects ranging from football to best friends, from Christmas to Cathedrals, and from dinosaurs to dogs, this is a must-have for both the school classroom and anyone who enjoys the best of what children's poetry has to offer.

'Otters' has everything we've come to know and love about Roger Stevens' work. As with his previous books, this is a delightful collection - full of of witty, clever, original and well-crafted poems - from arguably our funniest contemporary children's poet. There are many fine poems here - and, as ever, a nice range of tones and voices and forms too - but a couple of standout poems would be 'The Brown Bear' and 'The Water Cycle'. More than anything else, 'Otters' is a real hoot. Can I give it six stars?
Listmania!
