Poetry

Meet two very greedy cows, Marigold and Petal, and follow them in their madcap plan to eat every blade of grass they can get their hooves on. A new laugh-out-loud rhyming story for young readers.

Teaches a key mathematical theme for Early Years Numeracy through both imaginative and entertaining text and pictures.

When Bees Flew in for Breakfast is a collection of forty original poems written specifically for the 11-16 age group. The poems cover a wide range of themes, from nonsense humour to Gothic horror to logical puzzles to the Natural World. The poems are playful, surprising, thought-provoking and intriguing. This is a book that young people will want to read.

This book is something of a departure from my other publications in that it is an attempt to introduce young children to the poetic use of language without the use of humour to keep them engaged. The focus is on both textual and visual imagery.

This book is very much a sequel to, When Bees Flew in for Breakfast in terms of both style and content. As with its predecessor, It’s a Funny Old World is written primarily for those in the 11-16 age group who think that reading has got nothing to do with entertainment.
