As A.F. Harrold says on the front of the book : "Bubbling with wisdom and silliness"
This book has fantastic poems, wonderful illustrations and even performance tips. I have seen children as young as five right up to men and women in the eighties be enthralled, engaged, and laugh out loud at this.. what more can you want?!
