I Am a Poetato 

John Hegley is an utterly unique voice in the world of poetry and every new book is an extraordinary experience, this being no exception. From ‘A’ for Alligator to ‘Z’ for Zoe, (who had to go) the reader is alternately startled and then reduced to helpless giggles by this madcap gallop through the alphabet via the Hamstar (sic), the Journey to Jubilation, the Nit Nurse, Peter the Parrot and the Vole in a Vest. And in amongst the lunacy there is a small still voice of utter clarity and honesty. Read these poems yourself first and then share them with every child who crosses your path.
