STEVE TURNER is a performance poet and journalist. Author of several anthologies of adult verse, children's poetry and many rock biographies. DAVID MOSTYN is a widely published cartoonist and illustrator.
Grade 1-5–British poet Steve Turner reads more than 70 poems from his book in an enthusiastic voice. Using lots of puns and word play, these humorous poems are reminiscent of the works of Silverstein and Prelutsky. The author writes on a variety of topics of interest to children, including sounds, interesting words and naughty words, boredom, the sun, swimming pool wear, the creation of the world, fireworks, teachers, to-do lists, and snails. A poem about Adam's naming the animals is a guessing game. Turner also offers a couple of his own versions of traditional nursery rhymes. American listeners will have no trouble understanding his BBC accent. A good choice for libraries with fans of humorous poetry.–Beverly Bixler, San Antonio Public Library, TX
