Dog's Dinner and other poems

A pleasant collections of poems about everyday activities which are often given an interesting new slant by the author's view of them. These are varied in form, sometimes thought-provoking, with attractive metaphors and ideas. Occasional echoes of other poets (Causley and Ahlberg, for instance) do no harm and the collection has a good deal of fun and interest for reading aloud to younger children just beginning to get beyond nursery rhyme and simple verse.
