5.0 out of 5 stars there's an awful lot of weirdos in our neighbourhood, 8 Jul 2003
By mrs jane preston (Worthing, W. Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: There's an Awful Lot of Weirdos in Our Neighbourhood!: A Book of Rather Silly Verse and Pictures (Young Childrens Fiction) (Paperback)
I found this book hilarious. I bought it to read to my Beaver Scouts (6-8 yr olds), but my 11 year old son has run off with it. We especially love 'the reptile rap' and 'monday's child'. Colin Mcnaughton knows exactly how to write for children, and this is evident by the laughter I hear whilst reading his poems out loud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book, you and your kids NEED it., 23 Jul 2004
This review is from: There's an Awful Lot of Weirdos in Our Neighbourhood!: A Book of Rather Silly Verse and Pictures (Paperback)
Hope this comes back in print soon. This is a must to read aloud to children. Guaranteed to lift the family's spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just bought my 6th copy to use in primary class, 8 Feb 2009
This review is from: There's an Awful Lot of Weirdos in Our Neighbourhood!: A Book of Rather Silly Verse and Pictures (Paperback)
If you haven't come across Colin McNaughton before- get this. Absolutely loved by ages 5-10. Daft, silly, (usually) short ditties - so more easily accessible to less able readers- with excellent illustrations by the author. This is my 6th consecutive classroom copy- they fall to bits due to so much use. 'Nuff said.
