Gargling with Jelly: A Collection of Poems
Brian Patten, Chris Riddell
Hilarious, lyrical, outrageous and serious poems all rub shoulders in this collection. Naughty children with nasty habits, cartoon heroes that come to life, lonely caretakers, unhappy ghosts, fantastical creatures with crazy names, giants, goblins, vampires, mermaids ... there's never a dull moment in this marvellously quirky and refreshing brew!

I thought this was a funny book of poems with lots of rhyming. My favourite poem was the PE Teacher Wants to Be Tarzan as it made me laugh. I would recommend this book to people who like poems and comedy. It was a good book to read if you need to read a poetry book.
