Lucky Dip

Dip into this book of children's poetry and take your pick. Will you find one to make you smile ... or make you think?

Within this mixed-up selection you'll find such terrors as a dragon under the bed, dinner ladies (yikes!) and a cereal-loving dinosaur. You might glimpse a fox, if you open that page quickly enough, and you'll find helpful poems to read out loud if you ever lose your passport, or haven't quite got round to brushing your teeth yet...

"Catharine Boddy is a highly-gifted writer whose poems cover a wide range of experiences: she skilfully communicates the child's voice, and can be humorous, or reflective, or richly descriptive. These new poems will be greatly appreciated by children, and deserve to reach the widest possible audience."
