| Synopsis: |
The Fantasy Kid collects together Rupert Loydell's poems for children, teenagers and the young-at-heart, all of which have been test-driven by the author at schools, festivals, libraries and readings around the country. Whether making excuses at school, pondering questions about the nature of chocolate, serenading slugs, saying good bye to a starfish, introducing us to Doctor Fizz and Alvin the Aardvark, or remembering holidays with distant relatives, these poems are witty, irreverent, memorable and odd - although this book has a serious side too ...Look out! The Fantasy Kid is coming to your town, and your world will never be the same again. |
