Synopsis
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!
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.
'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).
