Quick, Let's Get Out of Here

Shreddies in my hair.

I looked at Eddie.

Eddie's looking at me.

Big grin on his face.

I knew he had done it.

Last week he put pepper in the raisins.

The yucky things your borther does, the annoying things your parents say, the funny things you feel.

Michael Rosen knows all about YOU! Look inside and see if he's spotted your deepest, darkest secrets.

A much-loved classic of family life from the brilliant Michael Rosen & Quentin Blake.

Reviews

Michael Rosen is a poet with a superb ear for the rhythms of language

Guardian
One of our most popular writers - the champion for every bored, overdrilled, tested-to-tears pupil in the land

The Times
I think poetry for children needs to be saved from the cold dissection of right and wrong answers and put back into rooms and halls full of wonder, compassion, haunting, laughter, music and rhythm. We need to hear its many cultures, many voices, many sounds. This is about wide and diverse participation. Diverse verse for all!

Michael Rosen, Children's Laureate 2007-2009
