This is a bright and lively collection of wordplay and fantasy poems. In it you will find a recipe for a dragon, the hippopotamus who weighs a ton from top-to-bottomus, and a bed made of barley sugar. This selection is enormous fun, and includes poems by Michael Rosen, Michaela Morgan, Edward Lear and Spike Milligan. It contains bright, full-colour illustrations, by a variety of artists. It is ideal for use with the National Literacy Strategy at Key Stage 1 and 2. It is chosen by John Foster, one of our most popular and trusted anthologists.
