"Sheep Don't Go to School" contains a whole flock of mad and magical poems from Eastern Europe. There are silly rhymes, surreal tales and serious stories from strange places - all bleating with wordplay, riddling and true magic. These weirdly wonderful poems have been shepherded into English from Albania, Bielarussia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia and the former Yugoslavia. This is the first book to round up such a rowdy mixture of poems for kids from the outlandish heart of Old Europe. Aimed at children up to 12 or 13, it will also make rams and ewes of all ages baa with delight. Not all the poems are penned about sheep, but every one is shear poetry!
