He’s got big green eyes that stare                     and if you ask him “Are you real?"
and a head of wiry hair                                      the goblin cries “I’ll make a deal – 
but he’s the goblin noone sees                          if you’ll believe in me
because he hides behind the cheese                 then I’ll believe in you…”

 "Thank you so much for your wonderful book. It looks great - and wholly original - and will show those big publishers a thing or two about design, originality and innovation - and the same goes for the poems - a fantastic selection - and such diversity. The freshest collection I've seen in absolutely yonks." James Carter, author of Cars Stars Electric Guitars (Walker), Time-Travelling Underpants (Macmillan).

 

 “it's fabulous.  Visually, it's a treat from start to finish, from front cover to back.  Using a variety of illustrators was a masterstroke.  The poems are strong throughout - funny, touching, evocative, intelligent - with some lovely, and quite magical little touches; the addition of quizzes, wordsearches, etc works really well, and makes it truly original. I'd certainly recommend this book to everyone…this is a daring new collection.” Graham Denton, editor, Hands-Up Books
