John Mole's latest anthology is a treasure chest of memories and reflections, tales in rhyme and rhythm, verbal photographs and nimble word games. Nine riddles at the heart of the book exemplify its rich integration of lighteartedness and emotional depth. In spite of the price, it might be worth buying several copies for distribution throughout the school, but keep one by your own desk - whatever age you teach. you'll use it.
