What would it be like to live in the future? Or underwater? What would you do if you could go back in time? Or be a cat? Or a blood cell? What would happen if a monster ate every letter of the alphabet?
In this extraordinary collection of brand new poems, beloved writer and former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen will make you laugh, make you smile, make you think, and take you out of this world.
Beautifully illustrated throughout by acclaimed artist Ed Vere, this is a book to treasure and share – a perfect introduction to poetry for readers of all ages.
"These poems for children are little gems … Readers will find plenty to make them laugh and smile." ★★★★★ The Telegraph
"Out of This World has suitably comic and thoughtful monochrome details, scenes and silhouettes by the illustrator Ed Vere. Long, free-verse poems conjure Rosen’s performances as he plays with words, memories and wild imaginings." The Times
