Product Description

Product Description
This illustrated collection of amusing poems and songs celebrating primary school life won the Signal Poetry Award in 1990. Meet Billy McBone and the Mad Professor’s Daughter, be amazed by the Longest Kiss Contest, shed a tear for the Boy Without a Name and – if you’re a stressed teacher – sing the Mrs Butler Blues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Something to pass on to a new generation, 8 Jun 2001
Many of these will not be heard now as you pass the playground, I have decided to pass these on and have even contacted the local school to offer to write these poems up as posters etc so that the new generation little darlings can share in our global heritage... Good reading.
