Book SynopsisRead the thrilling debut from the multi-award winning Waterstones Children's Laureate 2022-2024 Joseph Coelho.

You can howl about it
But never talk.
Do not walk to Werewolf Club!
You can bound to it in moonlight
But never walk.

Trade Review‘This collection is an exciting trip around space for young readers. Zoom around this book to find aliens, stars and a greedy robot - as well as funny faces and a ball that won’t bounce back! James Carter is an award-winning poet who knows just what children want - and space is always popular.’
"Poetry for children is dead. Really? Not when there are young poets Like Joseph Coelho…. Deceptively simple, these are poems that really do need to be read out aloud to be fully appreciated; it is perhaps, relevant that Joseph is a performance poet himself. Young readers are already familiar with stars such as McGough, Rosen, Ahlberg and Magee. Let us hope they will become as familiar with Joseph Coelho's work as he develops."
‘...combines humour, thoughtfulness and sparkling word play in a range of poems that explore the everyday worlds of school and family...these poems will read aloud well and this imaginative collection will make an excellent addition to classroom shelves.’
