October 2014, Frances Lincoln Children's Books, 96 pages, Paperback, Review copy
Summary from Frances Lincoln
A monster’s lunch, a wolf boy, Monday mornings, monkeys, headlice,
Christmas, making friends, goldfish – and lots more. Full of jokes,
surprises and puzzles, but also sensitive and thought-provoking, this is
a spellbinding new collection from the winner of the CLPE Poetry Award.
Nayu's thoughts
There
were a few poems, including the title poem, which I enjoyed because
of the humour and images they conjured up. I may not have enjoyed the
majority of them, but I can see that they were all well written and
memorable. They were a bit too odd for my liking, but with poetry I
prefer less abstract and wacky ideas which I know younger readers
love and will happy learn off by heart to recite perhaps adding
suitable actions. A mixed read for me, but one I urge you to check
it out to widen your poetry tastes.
