The Fantastic World of Crackonola cover

Here comes Freddie FEROCIOUS, a mouth full of plums, black leather gloves without any thumbs. A large stripy pillow tied round his middle, a newspaper hat, a bow from a fiddle ... Crackonola is a world of adventure where Granny has a grasshopper and rides it just for fun. Then Gerald gets rescued from his trumpet by the chimney sweep and Sally joins the circus. Whatever will happen next? This is a collection of poems to make the whole family laugh. It asks age old questions such as when you grow taller is everything smaller? And how DO elephants hide? Readers who love the classic nonsense rhymes of childhood by Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll will enjoy this new collection with illustrations to match!

"This poetry book is a charming, comic work of genius. I really loved the length of rhymes, the variety and the structures... The illustrations are are colourful fun and exciting and I absolutely loved the slug with a construction worker's helmet on." ~ Goodreads reviewer
