The lyrical verses overflow with the energy of its lively characters, and there are valuable lessons to be learned on the way.

Blurb

Francesca Kay and her fellow poets in this lively book know all about the really important things in life: food, friends, playing and secrets! Grown-ups may gasp at the tricks children play and the things that they say, but Chris Glynn's pictures will make everyone smile.
This is a perfect book for families to enjoy, but also a great collection for schools where themes like home, school and the seasons are explored.
The poets - Phil Carradice, Ruth Morgan, Neil Nuttall, Helen Woods and Francesca Kay herself - are all very much at home in schools, where they perform poems and run workshops.
