The Mighty Slide

by Allan Ahlberg

Overview

‘This is the story

Of Alison Hubble,

Who went to bed single,

And woke up double.’

Here, in verse, are the hilariously original stories of a mighty slide, a man who fought crocodiles, a girl who doubled, a couple of baby skinners and a thing that lived under a school. A wonderful collection from Allan Ahlberg, author of ‘Please Mrs Butler, Woof!’ and ‘Happy Families’, illustrated throughout with delightful drawings by Charlotte Voake.
