Michael Rosen's Big Book of Bad Things
Publisher: Puffin
Some poems are funny, some desperately sad. There are story poems and pondering poems: how great would Satnav trousers be!? Some, like 'Cosmo Caff', beg to be read aloud.
Sometimes the juxtaposition of poems will floor you: read 'Where Do We Come From' and 'Fly Racing' and find the history of a family.
But in Rosen's hands, small, scruffy words you don't even notice gain extra weight and meaning, and his poems give form and sensitively and exuberantly validate the everyday acts of simply wondering, idly thinking, and using language to do so.
What you thought...

A diverse collection of poetry written with Michael Rosen’s usual humour and pathos, meaning you’ll find poems to read out loud, some to share and others to challenge. Will appeal to a wide audience and a range of readers.
