Editorial Reviews

Completely Crazy Poems
No one can fail to dip into this book and come away without a cheeky smirk on their face. One to chase away the winter blues.
Funday Times

Ridiculous Rhymes
Fantastic stuff to introduce youngsters to poetry before they go all silly and wander like clouds.
Dorset Echo

Teasing Tongue-Twisters
Keep this book well away from any grandparents with false teeth – attempting these tongue-twisters could send their pearlie-whites flying. Mouth-numbingly difficult and rib-ticklingly funny, Teasing Tongue-twisters is a brilliant little collection.
Funday Times

Fresh and hilariously challenging. Irish Times
