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 humor, with Roger's own delightful, quirky illustrations.
