About the Author
Nick Sharratt was winner of the Sheffield Book Award and the Children's Book Award in 2001.
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4-- As in Noisy Poems and People Poems (both Oxford University, 1990), this team has again collaborated on a collection of humorous verses. Bennett has gathered a dozen, mainly British poems with topics ranging from central heating to UFOs. Leland B. Jacobs's ``The Subway Train'' has been changed here to ``The Underground Train'' for the intended British audience; its acknowledgement is incorrect. This volume, with amusing and bright colored-pencil and crayon illustrations, is suitable for reading aloud to younger children. All of the poems have been previously published, but several of the original sources are out of print. Lee Bennett Hopkins's Click, Rumble, Roar: Poems about Machines (Crowell, 1987) is one of the few other books devoted to the subject. --Andrew W. Hunter, Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg, Charlotte, NC
