Miss Alligator does her register. Begins with the widest smile as she calls the crocodile. She's firm calling to the worm. 'Present, Miss!' A snake says with a hiss. 'I'm here!' answers the reindeer. Enter the wonderful animal school, as imagined by Faustin Charles in his new poetry collection. There is a whole host of amazing animal characters, from Mr Dragon the Headmaster to the Mosquito Inspector and Miss Poodle the French teacher. Faustin's animal poems were acclaimed in his first poetry collection for Bloomsbury, "Once Upon an Animal" and these new poems are bound to be enjoyed even more by his fans.
