The Land of the Flibbertigibbets Bewertungen

A collection of poems in which he moves expertly from puns and poetic lists to clerihews and concrete poem creations. It's clever stuff, entertaining and eclectic, and really is wizardish with words.

-- Wes Magee

John Foster writes verse for children with understanding and with no trace of superiority. In their wisdom and enlightenment they are outstanding.

-- Junior Bookshelf

John Foster's sharp eye has caught exactly how children view school, parents, siblings, friends and much more besides. His sharp ear has caught children's language enabling him to write poems that speak directly to them.

-- Children's Books of the Year
