Have you ever given thought to the rules a lion should follow at school? Or pondered on the worst thing about queues?
You haven't? Then this book's for you?
In this collection of over 70 poems, Steve Turner returns to much of the word play and wit of his best-selling The Day I Fell Down the Toilet. Using the alphabet as a framework, he has written three poems for each letter (including X and Z!). This highly entertaining book will delight all Turner fans and teachers will appreciate the varied poetry forms (shape, limerick, nonsense, free, rhyming, etc).
The fun, witty poems - often written from a thought-provoking point of view - cover such diverse subjects as aardvarks, cars, sausages, love and yo-yos, so there's sure to be something to interest both boys and girls.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"If you read collections of poems by Adrian Mitchell, Roger McGough, Jackie Kay, John Agard, Brian Patten, Kit Wright, Carol Ann Duffy, Steve Turner, Grace Nichols and Benjamin Zephaniah, you'll probably be well set up." -- Michael Rosen * The Times * "We think you're going to love Don't Take Your Elephant to School, the latest book from leading children's poet Steve Turner...These poems are fun for children to read but are also good for parents to read to children." -- Primary Times * Primary Times * "Steve Turner's usual deft touch is employed in this collection of alphabet poems. Each letter has three pieces about animals, people or things, and there's a lot here to tickle the funny bone." -- Valerie Bloom * Junior Education * "A wide-ranging, funny and thought-provoking collection." -- Kathryn Ross * The Scotsman * "Buy one for every classroom and library." -- Roger Stevens * Poetry Zone *
