This unique of Spike's poems and stories for children presents his classic children's books in a way they have never seen before. The large format gives ample scope to make the most of Spike's own illustration, lovingly coloured specially for this book.

Spike does not regard children as small grown-ups, nut as an entirely different species who linve in a secret, magicalworld which very few adults understand. His poems were inspired by listening to his own children and subsequently his grandchildren, and marvelling at the way they could invent new words or incorporate sound effects into their everyday language. In 'borrowing' their language, Spike has created a range of poems and stories which are a delight to read to younger children, for older children to read themselves, or for grown ups trecapture some of the magic.
