Average rating

4 out 5

Step into a magical new collection of poems for young readers by the highly praised author and illustrator, Hilda Offen. Celebrate the strange and wonderful world around us: the joy of bouncing on a trampoline or the fun of sharing pizza with Attila the Hun and Robin Hood. Anything can happen in this mysteriously marvellous world – even a singing Dodo! Hilda’s debut collection of poetry for children Blue Balloons and Rabbit Ears was shortlisted for the CLiPPA poetry prize. Her second, Message from the Moon, was selected for the Reading Agency’s 2017 Summer Reading Challenge.

I have read this book

OK, kind of funny, but otherwise not that interesting. I wouldn't recommend it
