This is a fun book of poems about the school day. My mum read it when she was little and we have enjoyed reading it together, our favourite one was please Mrs Butler. It was her favourite as a child and still is. The book is set out in chapters like a school day school time, play time, dinner time school time, home time. What a supper book and I recommend this book.

I love the poems because they are really funny.

I like it because it's funny and there are lots of poems instead of just one. The poems are about school and some are at home. My favourite is The slow readers group.

I love all the poems in this book, they make giggle with some of the things that happen at school.

The “Ordeal of Robin Hood” poem about doing a play was the best.

I actually read this book at my school in a Guided Reading session! When I saw it on the 22 July 2021, It surprised me so much!

It was very good and very funny . I liked them all but especially the first one (called Please Mrs Butler )because it is the funniest of all. I recommend it for people who like poetry and for people who like funny things.
