About the book >.>.> Poems about elephants, bananas, mashed potatoes, floating flautists, love, a seven-headed snake, wizards, arithmetic and a hundred-mile- high pine tree leap from these pages in a helter- skelter of words and pictures. Adrian Mitchell seeks out the magic in ordinary things and makes the weird and unexpected seem perfectly normal. He plays games with words, invents jokes and tells stories some full of his mischievous sense of fun, some poignant and thoughtful. All are beautifully illustrated with irresistible wood engravings by John Lawrence (LL).
