Dougherty's playful approach pokes fun at poetic conventions and creates a clever collection."
* The Irish Examiner *"This collection is a bestiary, with some clever, witty and thought-provoking poetry… Morgan-Jones’s
nimble illustrations are often delightful, putting wind in the sails of the verse...
Reluctant readers of poetry are likely to be engaged and entertained by this lively book."
