A collection of the most weird and wonderful poems I've read for ages. Each is hilarious in its own right and, read from cover to cover, the book is going to receive the ultimate accolade - being loved to death. I adored 'A maggot' with the letters of support from other minibeasts and the poem that couldn't find an empty page to rest on. Just the thing for the reluctant poetry reader. All my Y4s want is 'the rude book'!
