A Dinosaur at the Bus Stop
Poems to Have Fun With!
by Kate Wakeling
Illustrated by Eilidh Muldoon
"What's your favourite noise?
What's the best sound around?
What would you choose
from all the world's whoops
and fizzes
and gurgles
and BOOMS?"
Choose your favourite sound, bob like a robin, soak up the stillness of the forest, jump like a startled kangaroo or go to a monster jamboree. But keep an eye out for a dinosaur at the bus stop!
Funny, gentle, thoughtful, magical – this is an outstanding debut collection for younger readers, from an award-winning poet whose beautifully crafted, musical poetry will be loved by younger children.
