Michael Rosen's sense of humour rarely fails to please, as anyone who has ever rollicked to the rhythms of Don't Put Mustard in the Custard will testify. In Uncle Billy Being Silly , he pulls together a collection of daft poems about friends and family in a colour-illustrated book that is designed to intrigue and encourage young readers. From the supremely silly Eddie and his Shreddies to the subtly sweet Going Through the Photos , every poem captures the way we feel about the people who are close to us with truly memorable style. Great for sharing or reading alone, Uncle Billy Being Silly is a little gem.(Age 6 and over)-- Susan Harrison
