Packed full of stupendously silly, fantastically funny and hysterically hilarious poems, this brilliant anthology is edited by dynamic poet, Joshua Seigal. Featuring a diverse range of contributors and some brand new poems from Joshua himself, this book is perfect for anyone who needs a giggle or a belly laugh!
'I think any reader would find it hard not only to avoid laughing, but to stop themselves reading the poems aloud - they are absolutely begging to be performed!' (Library Girl and Book Boy)
Poets include: A.F. Harrold, Raymond Antrobus, Andy Seed, Sue Hardy-Dawson, Adisa, Kat Francois, James Carter, Jay Hulme and Lewis Carroll.
Packed with laugh out loud illustrations by Tim Wesson, this follow up to I Don't Like Poetry (which was shortlisted for the 2017 Laugh Out Loud Awards) is a marvellous mixture of subversive humour and insight into the world of children.
Reviews / Votes
This collection of very funny poems - from an acrostic poem that doesn't quite work, to a love letter to someone the poet doesn't really like - are, in many cases, hilariously uncomplimentary! ... this is a great collection of genuinely funny poems and they're refreshingly original for older primary kids, reflecting their lives and interests. * BookTrust * I think any reader would find it hard not only to avoid laughing, but to stop themselves reading the poems aloud - they are absolutely begging to be performed! A great book for home or the classroom (and great for reducing stress whilst cooking!). There's a wide range of contributors to this anthology, as well as some poems by Joshua Seigal himself who is a fabulous writer (and is well worth a follow on twitter if you don't already). * Let Them Be Small Blog *More details
