About this book

Following the success of their first Book of Nonsense, Michael Rosen and Clare Mackie have joined forces once again to create this spectacular collection of humorous poems which was shortlisted for the Greenaway Prize.

Young and older readers alike will be greatly entertained by the wonderful poems, with titles which range from The Smeenge and Plonky Wonky Doodah to Windscreen Wipers and The Cat Went Out.

The careful illustrations by Clare Mackie are an integral part of the book, bringing the weird and wonderful characters to life, including, believe it or not, The Invisible Cat. Highly recommended!
