Michael and I are firm Ani addicts so another whole book about Ani’s antics is a real treat. The goings on of Ani’s two legs, sets Michael off into gales of laughter so we are really happy to read about the trials and tribulations of “Her” too.
The book is written in rhyming verse and tells all sorts of tales. To coin a phrase, Ani says:
“The time has come,” the doglet said,
“to talk of many things;
Of tennis balls and squeaky ducks,
and sneaky bees with stings; …”
In this book, Laughter Lies, Life from the Tail End, you will meet some of Ani’s friends, OR NOT:
The cat likes to sit on the roof of the shed
While the dog views this as an intrusion,
It’s all fur and teeth
As the dog growls beneath
And the birds flutter round in confusion.
We get some insights into Ani’s diet:
Its cream cheese and crackers for me and the dog,
While I’m more the epicure… she’s just a hog…
AND
Me and the dog had a sandwich for brunch
(Well, for me it was breakfast, for her it was lunch.)
NOT TO MENTION
The ham disappeared without leaving a trace
Except for the grin upon one small dog’s face.
So if you like to enjoy life and have a good giggle, pick up this delightful book of light-hearted poems and jump right in. There are also some lovely photographs in the book for the reader to enjoy.

Excellent read. It certainly had me laughing on every page.
I thought I would try something different
Not something I usually do
But I have just read a fabulous book
And I wanted to write a review!
If you enjoy a great poem
And love to have a good laugh
Then you will love Ani’s antics
To get out of having a bath!
If legends are more to your fancy
St George and the dragon – the truth
To slay it takes one feisty princess
Not some weak, callow youth!
Do you have a sense of adventure?
To do what very few dare
Stand out from the crowd and be noticed
With vibrant red pillar box hair!
These stories are just a selection
In the book there are tales of all kinds
So I urge you to read it
Sue’s brilliant book, Laughter Lines!

I chose to read this at night, winding down from the day. Some of the entrie are so funny, they had me laughing out loud, as did my husband when I read them aloud to him.
I can identify with bath times and getting more soaked than the dog, sharing food, and woeful brown eyes that are so achingly familiar. Through Sue's verse, I can visualise 'The Small Dog' getting her way, fun and play times, scrounging and pilfering, and then we have the human stuff of hair dyes, bad backs, cold toast and gingernut dunking.
The book is a delight, and an excellent way to relax before turning out the light. So much so, I've ordered another two.

What a great fun read - perfect 'laugh out loud' poems for dipping into at any time!
One or two of them will exercise the reader's Yorkshire accent a treat.
The author and her 'small dog' make a formidable team with their wry look at life together as well as life in general.

Another excellent book by Sue Vincent. Full of clever and amusing poetry. Would highly recommend along with her "notes from a small dog: four legs on two".
