A poetry book to have sets of because it does most of the teaching about poetry for you, inviting readers in with a lively, simple and very funny poem and continuing to amuse and surprise. It's never dull or long-winded and ends with the witty poem 'Help' where a mad typewriter creates new words and happenings with increasing drama. The collection will engage interest and excite curiosity, providing at its heart a wonderful show of words and ideas. A magical book.
