There's a Crocodile in the House

Author: Paul CooksonIllustrator: Liz Million

This latest collection from well-known performance poet Paul Cookson is as full of lively humour as regular readers would expect. Aimed at younger children and ideal for classroom use, the poems range from the laugh-out-loud funny to the slightly scary or completely absurd. Children will meet crocodiles, dinosaurs, robot teachers, pirates, aliens, and a toilet seat with teeth. The poems are ideal for reading aloud with suggestions for group performance and ideas for listener participation given throughout. Liz Million’s humorous and lively cartoon-style illustrations match the tone of the poems perfectly. This light-hearted, funny collection is packed with repetition, choruses, kennings, sound effects and actions ensuring an entertaining treat for young readers and listeners.
