Nutty Nonsense by Christina Gabbitas
Colin West has dusted down and polished up some of his funniest poems, and added brand new drawings for this collection of Nutty Nonsense. It's full of amusing characters - step up Norton Norton and his amazing nostrils, accident prone Uncle Harry, and a lighthouse keeper with an enormous family. You'll also meet fabulous creatures, such as the friendly-looking (but always hungry) Ogglewop, and the fearsome, nocturnal Blunderblat. There's also the mysterious Wobble-Dee-Woo, a nautical cat named Shivermetimbers, and many more crazy creations. For everyone who enjoys their nonsense nonsensical, their rhymes rhythmical and their pictures picturesque, this is the perfect book for you! Here's what other poets say about Colin West: 'A nifty practitioner' - Michael Rosen. 'Colin West is top of the heap when it comes to nonsense verse' - Brian Moses. 'A master wordsmith' - John Foster. All profits from this book are donated to the Children's Literature Festivals charity England and Wales 1182143
Colin West was born in 1951 and studied Graphic Design at Wolverhampton Polytechnic, and Illustration at the Royal College of Art, London. Shortly after graduating in 1975, his first book, a collection of nonsense verse was published. Since then he has written over sixty more children's books, and aims to continue till he runs out of ideas! The Times Educational Supplement wrote: Anarchists unite Colin West's The Big Book of Nonsense will surely enhance his reputation as one of our most consistently witty children's poets. This handsome book gathers West's nonsense verse across two decades. Liberally illustrated in colour by West himself (he produces picture books as well as poetry), this book should be in every teacher's personal library, on hand should an opportunity for five minutes of off-message, anarchic laughter present itself. TES PRIMARY Oct 2001 Colin lives in Battle, East Sussex, just a stone's throw from the historic battlefield of 1066. He lists his interests as music, art, old buildings, and most of all, collecting other people's books.
