A new edition of the classic Roger McGough collection of animal verse, with the author's own illustrations

Ever see

an anaconda

drive through town

on a brand new Honda?

Don't ask him

for a ride.

You might end up

inside.

From the Allivator to the Zonk, here are seventy-two gloriously witty poems that young readers will love and return to again and again.

Real and imaginary animals, from newts with flutes to boisterous baboons in hot-air balloons, crowd Roger McGough's celebrated collection, now in a new edition for a new generation. Rich in invention, wordplay, and humour, with Roger's own delightful, quirky illustrations.

Roger McGough is Britain's most famous and best-loved poet.
