What Would You Do with a Wobble-Dee-Woo?
(Puffin Books)
978-0140346183, RRP £3.25, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
At first sight this is yet another book of comic rhyming couplets pretending to be poetry. However, there's more to this collection. Within the usual format of verse and cartoon drawing is much food for thought about life, the universe and everything. Here children and adults will find a rather unusual view of the everyday. I wish Colin West had the courage to break out of the comic verse strait-jacket and offer as much interest in the form as in the content.
