A hilarious collection of pet poems by wordplay wizard Brian Bilston.
When you've got a bad case of the 'mews' and are in desperate need of a
'pup'-lifting read, this book is the 'ulti-mutt' remedy.
Please don’t think me lazy,
I’m not trying to slack –
it’s just that I’m stuck, you see,
under this cat.
This collection of poems focuses on the hilarious happenings in the
lives of our furry - and not so furry - friends. Stars include Wilf,
the hypnotist Labracadabrador, a philosophically inclined goldfish
penning a profound haiku, a hen named Barbara receiving an adoring
tribute, and an 'octopussy' cat that seems to have all its paws in
plenty of odd little pies.
The perfect gift for a dog person, cat person and every pet lover in
between.

Meet the National Animals is a playful and humorous look at the
animals all around the world who represent their country. Why do
they represent the particular country and what is so special or
symbolic about them? Featuring over 35 amazing animals, from the
mystical Scottish Unicorn to China's much-loved Giant Panda and the
wonderful, but extinct, Dodo from Mauritius. The witty text brings
each animal to life and celebrates their quirks and
characteristics. Includes a playful, charming narrative along the
bottom of each spread, which sees Brown Bear gradually bringing all
the animals together as they travel the world, celebrating each
country as they go. Filled with fascinating facts about each animal
and country, the text also touches gently on conservation issues
related to each animal and their habitat. The illustrations inject
warmth and humour into the narrative, making the animals the stars
of their respective countries!
