A cool, new mix of poetry for children, from A. F. Griffey. With tantalizing titles and lively, upbeat content, this is a book that modern children can relate to. With dragon poems to fuel the imagination, an encounter between a school inspector and a Giant African Millipede and a marvellously, messy incident involving a large pot of gooey, green slime, there are plenty of fun poems to share. In contrast, some poems are reflective and inspire positivity; for example, in Hooray for Ginger Hair and Freckles a child shares her positive and uplifting approach to bullying. Vibrant illustrations combine with rich rhythm and rhyme to encourage enjoyment and discussion at home or at school.

Includes ‘Discussion and Discovery Ideas’ for parents, carers and teachers and ‘Did you Know?’ boxes containing fun facts.
