a tight-lipped purr and a wide-mouthed hiss.
Let me walk with a saunter,nose in the air

"Funny,fast-paced,lyrical and thought-provoking...the poems will grow in the reader's mind with re-reading,year by year." Centre for Literacy in Primary Education,prize citation
"This book is brilliant because anyone,at any age,can read and enjoy it. It would be perfect for a birthday or Christmas present,and anyone who got it would be very lucky!" English 4-11
"This is a re-issue of Rachel's first and award-winning collection of poems andwhat a smasher it is,brilliantly inventive and inviting readers to look at the world and things in it,in an entirely fresh way... Altogether the book's a testament to the power of language and its versatile nature; there's something to please all tastes here. Quirky stylised drawings by Ellie Jenkins grace many of the pages."
