ACHUKA Book of the Day 8 May 2026
Publisher: Gallery Kids, Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 9781398560833
Published to coincide with Michael Rosen’s 80th birthday (7.5.26).
“The book reads almost like a rap battle between them, with lines from each of the writers weaving in and out and leading to plenty of funny or thought-provoking situations. Rosen’s signature humour complements MC Grammar’s more modern style, and they combine to make verses that just beg to be read aloud – with plenty of nods to some of Michael’s most viral moments thrown in for good measure, noice! ” BookTrust
