“Emma’s poems are full of life and laughs, bubbling with music and wisdom and silliness and jokes and cute animals.
She’s a great performer of her work and the book is crammed with tips to help the reader become a performer too.
And as if that weren’t enough, Catherine’s fine and funny pictures add another dimension to the book (a picture-y dimension)”
A. F. Harrold – Bloomsbury Children’s Poet who has appeared on BBC Radio 4, Radio 3 and BBC7
“Prompts and suggestions for learning by heart are dotted among these fun poems from performance poet Emma Purshouse.
They remind us that poetry should be spoken aloud and encourage us to do so, enjoying the poet’s skilful word play.
A delightful collection for children and grown-ups to enjoy together.”
