'This lively collection of poems reflects on all kinds of things from the magical such as the badly behaved dragon of the title poem, to the everyday. `Steel Birds' is a wonderful poetic evocation of the cranes that dominate the skyline while in both `We're going to have a baby' and `Expecting' both the joy and the disbelief are brilliantly captured.'
`Lovely to read aloud with catchy rhymes and topics guaranteed to appeal to children. The language is vivid and some of the poems end in an unexpected way that will make children giggle.'
