Inspired by the behaviour and sayings of the author's young children, this book draws on the influences of Edward Lear and Spike Milligan to bring to life fictitious characters from the author's home village in West Yorkshire. The poems, along with illustrations, are primarily intended to entertain children, though some do contain adult innuendos. If this book brings a smile to the face of the reader, then the writing of it will have been worthwhile. A 'must' for the family bookshelf - buy now before they throw them all away.
