16 reviews

A comic collection of verse from the illustrious pairing of two former Children’s Laureates.

From the chaos of breakfast and to the calm of bedtime, this quirky collection of nonsense poetry written by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Quentin Blake is full of delightful moments. Read of the pleasures of messing about and the pains of feeling ill, of animal antics down at the doctor’s and strange goings-on on the beach… All this and a trip on a flying bed too.

I love the ‘what if’ poems because they stay in my memory.

Really enjoyed all the different poems and the fantastic illustrations to go with them. I loved the Nat and Anna poems, particularly the Nat and Anna poem in the Under the Bed section of the book.

I re-read lots of these poems as I thought they were brilliant. I like reading them aloud to my family too.

One of my favourite books

20 Jul 2019

I thought the book was very funny and creative.
It is a fiction book, my favourite characters were Anna and Nat.
The book was not factual, it interested me because the name was very weird and funny.
I would definitely recommend this book.
