Summary: A wonderfully wacky collection of poems for children of all ages. Includes My Cat (the Vampire!), Spider on my Ceiling, Zits, I Want to be Five and The Abominable Snowdrop! From touching to hilarious, there's something for everyone!
I love this, my kids will love this. The poems in this book are brilliant, some are short, some are longer but each one is as funny as the next, A fantastic read for someone through the ages ranges of 5-105, Brilliant.
Here is what I thought about some of the poems, I love them all but some stood out to me, Took me back to being a child,
Abit of a zit
This was so funny but so so true, this should be given to every child as they head up to high school, the trauma that a lot of children go through having that big zit on the face can be horrendous, this poem makes you laugh about it and makes you realise that almost everyone has them sooner or later.
Fartz
Another great poem, This should be put on a magnet and stuck to your fridge, so when that posh friend comes round, she can read it, lol, I have been crying with laughter, reading all these, I can’t wait for the kids to get home from school to read them.
My Cat
What can I say about My Cat, Hilarious, still giggling, my hubby will like this one, He works at Homebase you see, lol.
Snot
Ewwww, Gross, but again really funny, thinking this one may be my kids favourite.
Rodney’s Snodgit
Where did you find the name Snodgit? It’s brilliant, I can see my kids loving this one too, that may be their new word of the week.
Bathroom bubbles
Not a lot to say about this one as it is very short, but, you can relate, just remember what it was like when you were a kid in the bath.
A Spider on my Ceiling
What’s worse than seeing a spider in your room, losing that same spider in your room, This one is sooo true too..
A bit of Fluff
Short but very sweet.
The Sad, Sad Tale of the Gobbling Goblin
Brilliant, my little one will love this one, if you don’t like these poems, think back to when you were a child and what it was like, your childlike self will love them.
Camels
I love this, you can conjure this one in your mind or better yet get the kids to draw him.
Escape
I love this one as it is so true.
And so on,
Very cleverly done. This should confuse the kids, I had to read it twice, it was brilliant
All in all this book is great for all ages, young to old alike, This will keep the whole house entertained. I have only listed some of my favourites, this would be an exceptionally long review if I mentioned them all like I wanted, I wish I could, but got more books to read. 5/5
