Roger McGough
Illustrated by Sally Kindberg
(Puffin Books)
978-0140361728, RRP £4.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Buy "Lucky: A Book of Poems (Puffin poetry)" on Amazon

A mix of poems, sequences of phrase definitions, letters, famous last words and a tabloid front-page full of verbal play and fun. The way words can turn the world around is always a source of pleasure but 'The Dada Christmas Catalogue' is the only section where the ideas leave unsettling touches - 'An underwater ashtray... Contact lens adhesive.'
