Let's Recycle Grandad and Other Brilliant New Poems by Roger Stevens

It isn't easy to come up with a title for a brilliant new poetry collection to top The Secret Life of Pants. A title with total kid appeal, a title to suggest the wide variety of themes and styles covered - from scary poems, to classics, to nonsense poems. Here are some of Roger Stevens' first thoughts: What News of the Lemmings? Confusing a Spink with a Snipe Playing Basket Ball with a Bull Dog When the Whiting Needs a Wipe The Twelve Starfish of the Zodiac The Secret of Prairie Dog's Box Why Alligators love Elevators Why Otters Don't Wear Socks...But when Roger suggested Let's Recycle Grandad the search was finally over. A title alluding to the environmental themes covered within the collection, but with a characteristic touch of the bizarre - how could anyone resist?

'Children will enjoy dipping into this irresistable collection..They speak directly to children, using natural language and cover a wide range of emotions...' Carousel Supplement (Christmas 2008)

Roger Stevens has put together various poetry anthologies, including The Monster That Ate the Universe (Macmillan). He runs the 'Poetry Zone' website for children and leads poetry workshops for schools. The Secret Life of Pants, his previous poetry collection for A & C Black, was selected for the 2007 Reading Challenge.
