This edition was first published in 1985 with new illustrations by Michael Foreman to celebrate the centenary of this wonderful collection of children’s poems.
This reissue contains a new Foreword by Alexander McCall Smith.
This is a fabulous collection from a prolific illustrator-poet who writes in the best tradition of English comic verse.
Debut collection from a poet who performs his work in schools and theatres across the UK.
The new collection from the winner of the CLiPPA Award 2015. With illustrations by Kate Milner.
One of my favourite poems in the collection is Smashing Snails In The Rain, a highly evocative description of an encounter with an intimidating bully.
