Publisher's Synopsis
It isn't easy to come up with a title for a brilliant new poetry collection to top The Secret Life of Pants. A title with total kid appeal, a title to suggest the wide variety of themes and styles covered - from scary poems, to classics, to nonsense poems. Here are some of Roger Stevens' first thoughts:
What News of the Lemmings?
Confusing a Spink with a Snipe
Playing Basket Ball with a Bull Dog
When the Whiting Needs a Wipe
The Twelve Starfish of the Zodiac
The Secret of Prairie Dog's Box
Why Alligators love Elevators
Why Otters Don't Wear Socks…
But when Roger suggested Let's Recycle Grandadthe search was finally over. A title alluding to the environmental themes covered within the collection, but with a characteristic touch of the bizarre - how could anyoneresist?
