About the book

The poems in this volume, illustrated with elegant line and neat wit by Nicolas Bentley, exemplify the very special kind of observation, humour and perception which distinguish all Roy Fuller's poetry. for young children there are riddle to solve, rhymes to enjoy and experiences to share; older ones will find much to make them think, to encourage them to look about them, and to laugh.
