A brand new collection of poetry by former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen, author of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, with illustrations by acclaimed artist Ed Vere.
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?

Beautifully illustrated throughout by acclaimed artist Ed Vere, this is a book to treasure and share โ€“ a perfect introduction to poetry for readers of all ages.
