I did not really enjoy this book, but i think it would be good for people younger than me. The writing was very imaginative and a lot of the poems were about animals. The pictures were really creative and funny.

I like this book this so much because Hilda Offen, who illustrated this book, has drawn lovely pictures and the same boy was in most of the illustrations of the poems. The poems are really fluent and rhyme at the end of each line which makes them fun to read and you want to read the next line to see what the rhyme is.

It was alright, but I didn't really like it. The poems were O.K, but not the best they could of been.

I think other people should read this book because it has really good poems e.g Killer Caterpillar and Message from the Moon. The illustrations are really good and very funny. People who are aged 6 and under might enjoy this book.
