Daft As A Doughnut by Adrian Mitchell
A collection of poems that speaks to children today about everything, from things that make them laugh and cry, to animal magic and holiday havoc, and even things as daft as doughnuts!
Delightful comic illustrations by Tony Ross accompany each poem * Bournemouth Daily Echo *
It was brilliant and I would rate it 10 out of 10.. Start reading it if you want to be giggled out of your socks -- Charlotte Howey, aged 10 * Cork Evening Echo *
Word surprises galore * Junior Education *
Mitchell likes to take ordinary things ... and give them surprisingly imaginative twists * Child Education *
Witty, playful, kind, poignant, moral but fun, with apt illustrations by Tony Ross, this is a book that I can see children picking up and enjoying for themselves, unassisted. * Books for Keeps *
Adrian Mitchell's enthusiasm for language makes his work ideal for reading out loud * London Review of Books *
