Silly Verse for Kids - a hilarious collection of silly poems by
Spike Milligan! A collection of the absurd, ridiculous, sublime and
characteristically anarchic verse from the brilliant Spike
Milligan. With his very own illustrations, this collection, which
includes the famous On the Ning Nang Nong will make you laugh from
the bottom of your belly - just like Spike did. The legendary and
iconic figure, Spike Milligan was born at Ahmednagar in India in
1918. He received his first education in a tent in the Hyderabad
Sindh desert and graduated from there, through a series of Roman
Catholic schools in India and England, to the Lewisham Polytechnic.
He then plunged into the world of Show Business, seduced by his
first stage appearance, at the age of eight, in the nativity play
of his Poona convent school. He began his career as a band
musician, but became famous as a humorous scriptwriter and actor in
both films and broadcasting. He was the creator, principal writer
and performer of the infamous Goon Show. Spike received an honorary
CBE in 1992 and Knighthood in 2000. He died in 2002. Other
children's books by Spike Milligan: Bald Twit Lion; Badjelly the
Witch; Dip the Puppy; Sir Nobonk and the Terrible Dreadful Awful
Naughty Nasty Dragon; A Children's Treasury of Milligan: Classic
Stories and Poems; The Magical World of Milligan

Told in gentle rhyming verse, this beautiful non-fiction picture
book follows the story of a flock of colourful macaws as they live
their lives in the Amazon rainforest. Through the voice of one of
the macaws, we hear about the bounty of the rainforest, as well as
the challenges they have faced - threatened by the destruction of
their home through machinery and forest fires to make room for vast
plantations. Still, there are some areas where the land is
protected and they can live a life of freedom among the trees...
perhaps in the future, humans will learn the true value of the
forest once again? Accompanying non-fiction pages at the end of the
book include information on on endangered macaws, the importance of
the rainforest, and the causes of deforestation, as well as what we
can do to help.
