Trade ReviewThis collection of very funny poems – from an acrostic poem that doesn't quite work, to a love letter to someone the poet doesn't really like – are, in many cases, hilariously uncomplimentary! ... this is a great collection of genuinely funny poems and they're refreshingly original for older primary kids, reflecting their lives and interests. * BookTrust *

A great book for home or the classroom (and great for reducing stress whilst cooking!). -- K and O: Bonkers About Books
There’s a wide range of contributors to this anthology, as well as some poems by Joshua Seigal himself who is a fabulous writer (and is well worth a follow on twitter if you don’t already). -- Sarah Burns * Let Them Be Small Blog *
