    About this audiobook

    This delightful children's poetry book contains a collection of fun and imaginative poems for fun and imaginative kids (and those adults that still behave like kids).

    Learn why you should tidy up after yourself, why midnight snacking is not such a good idea, and what to do if you laugh so hard that your socks come off!

    This book of funny children's poems contains a host of interesting stories and characters for your kids to enjoy. Each story more fun that the last. The poems are written to encourage reluctant young readers to find enjoyment in poetry, and the wonder of words.

    An Author's Republic audio production.
