My Life as a Goldfish cover

  Magic      slips
between      the
      cracks      in
      real      life.
      One      day
      you      will
      step         on
                  it.     
 

A monster’ s lunch, a wolf boy, Monday mornings, monkeys, headlice, Christmas, making friends, goldfish – and lots more. Full of jokes, surprises and puzzles, but also sensitive and thought-provoking, this is a spellbinding new collection from the winner of the CLPE Poetry Award.

'Lovely. A good follow up to the delightful, award-winning Language of Cat, this book features poems short and long, sometimes rhyming, sometimes not. I can’t find a poem I don’t like in here. Some of them are light hearted, but some are quite serious; most will appeal to adults as well as children.'


"This book is like opening a box of joy and laughter – we all love it."
