These vivid, surprising poems from the much-loved late Adrian Mitchell are about anything and everything. Some are playful, some are thoughtful, and they evoke all kinds of emotions. With their insistent rhythms, they'll be read and listened to again and again by readers of every age. - Woman's WeeklyA volume which serves as a worthy memorial. - Irish TimesAdrian Mitchell had that rare ability to appeal to all ages and this inspiring volume, illustrated with wit and energy by Tony Ross, is brimming with musical, provocative, humourous, challenging, but most of all life-affirming verse that should be read out loud every day. Anyone who can rhyme 'miserable' with 'inviserable' still has a child's heart beating inside him. A glorious reflection of the man himself - who forbade his poetry to be used in school examinations: a rebel with a cause. - Daily MailTreasure this book. ***** - Books For KeepsA great investment to introduce children to a superb poet. - BooksellerThis book is a splendid memorial as well as an endlessly entertaining, inspiring and special present for children. - Book Trust Guide
