Book Synopsis
This collection of poems for children aged 8-14 are beautifully illustrated and have been hailed by teachers as a great introduction to poetry for children. From Mr Nobody, an unhappy spook who just wants to join the class, to the bizarre dress sense of the new teacher, or the spying and piracy that can occur in the playground in between sherbet dabs, this original collection of verse enlivens both teaching and learning poetry.

'This collection will inspire, delight and inform all who dip into it.' - ANNE WALLACE, EDUCATION OFFICER, GLASGOW MUSEUMS
