"The Klangaroo was such a fun, quirky, entertaining book, and I read this to our 12 month old niece.
Our main character is the crazy, mad, eccentric scientist, Dr Try who makes zany animal robots from anything she finds, frying pans, forks, springs. Bu" Read more of this review » |

“Dreambeast
If you have a dream
that won’t go away
that gnaws at your toes
with each waking day
That sings beneath notes
and swirls between stars
From lines in great books
it thrashes and gnarls
From cinema screens
it leaps along light
and twists your insides
and stalks you at night
Then give it attention
Tame that wild dream
It’s there for a reason
yet to be seen
A beast of the future
only you own
Don't let it escape
into the unknown
Train it with care
and boost its esteem
Spotlight it brightly
so it can be seen
Or dreams can turn nasty
tire and groan
Diminishing creatures
if left all alone
The beast never dies
just shrinks and goes cold
A lone, solemn dream
growing weary and old
Fight the dream-bruisers
wish-batterers too
and splatterers of hope
who'll be waiting for you
Feel the roar rumble
Hear every shout
It’s your beast of a dream
just dying to get out”
