WINNER OF THE 2020 LAUGH OUT LOUD AWARDS Packed full of stupendously silly, fantastically funny and hysterically hilarious poems, this brilliant anthology is edited by dynamic poet, Joshua Seigal. Featuring a diverse range of contributors and some brand new poems from Joshua himself, this book is perfect for anyone who needs a giggle or a belly laugh! 'I think any reader would find it hard not only to avoid laughing, but to stop themselves reading the poems aloud – they are absolutely begging to be performed!' (Library Girl and Book Boy) Poets include: A.F. Harrold, Raymond Antrobus, Andy Seed, Sue Hardy-Dawson, Adisa, Kat Francois, James Carter, Jay Hulme and Lewis Carroll. Packed with laugh out loud illustrations by Tim Wesson, this follow up to I Don't Like Poetry (which was shortlisted for the 2017 Laugh Out Loud Awards) is a marvellous mixture of subversive humour and insight into the world of children.

This book is a funny, laughing your head off book with silly poems and funny illustrations that make you laugh. The poems I enjoyed most is on the backwards bus, pigeons, wattle I do, where are you going, cartoons, The poems I enjoyed most are on the backwards bus, daddy fell into the pond, oops, our teacher is a caveman, my homework ate my dog, to the loo, impatience and bottom. The first few poems you might think it might not be fun but as you read on the poems will get funnier. Perfect for people who like poems and are easily made to laugh.

The poems weren’t that funny but they were good. They were put into sections and my favourite section was the food section. I would recommend this to my friends.

This was so funny. The poems were brilliant and sometime a bit rude which made me laugh a lot.

It was a funny story about all the stuff in life that are hard can be turned into something completely different and may not be so bad.
