Who Let the Words Out?

Never swim in lava, never tickle frogs, never poke your father, never pickle dogs…

In this funny, engaging poetry collection. Joshua Seigal offers useful ‘advice’, interesting images and silly juxtapositions. The everyday is made new through his quirky lens.

With poems about all sorts of subjects, from funny pets to silly schools, this is a poetry collection to make you smile. The wordplay and humour is spot on for primary school children, including lots of puns, enabling them to feel that poetry is something for them. The strong rhythm and rhyme of many poems makes them fun to say aloud. There is a range of poetic forms on display, too, for instance haiku, couplets and shape poems. This would be an engaging poetry collection to share in classrooms.
