Media Reviews
Perfect for reading on a dull, wet day, it's impossible not to feel one's mood being elevated and enhanced by always bright - sometimes brash - poetic offerings... A pant-astically absorbing collection of new poems to pamper oneself with... Primarily a fun book to read, this serves as an excellent introduction to poetry. Achuka Reviews (11th September 2006) This will make you chuckle out loud! Kraze Club (Autumn 2006) These poems and riddles are great for dipping into. TBK Magazine (November/December 2006) If you prefer poetry to stories I strongly recommend you get a copy of The Secret Life of Pants, a really great collection of rhymes and riddles. Alternative Kidz (December 2006)
