Book description
A brilliantly funny collection of poems involving everyone's
favourite anti-hero Dave Dirt, the extraordinary afternoon of a prawn
and the mysterious tale of Zoe's earrings.
Witty, touching and clever - this is a classic collection from the
irreverent Kit Wright.
Kit Wright's father was a schoolmaster who loved reading and writing
light-hearted verse. He encouraged Kit too and Kit began poetry from the
age of six, continuing to do so ever since. Kit soon established himself
as one of the most able poets for children around with collections such
as
Arthur's Father
and
Cat Among the Pigeons
.
TES
said of him that "among children's writers he has perhaps the
finest ear for poetry's rythms and cadences."
