Illustrated by Martin Chatterton
Another collection of splendid goodies from Michael Rosen. 'Horrible' minutely documents the horrors of eating pizza on a train. Waves of sympathy went out to the teacher in 'The Outing' struggling through child-driven distractions to tell his class they must behave in the Science Museum. The world's most dangerous snail? You'd better look it up in 'The Grinner's Book of Records'. Rosen's joy in language is always evident. It's the fun he gives and gets playing with words that makes the appeal of his poems so enduring and endearing.
