Shortlisted for the Laugh Out Loud Awards - the UK's only prize for funny children's books. A brilliant collection of poems by an exciting young poet, this book is perfect, whether you like poetry or not!
Joshua Seigal is an internationally renowned poet, performer and educator. His first book with Bloomsbury, I Don’t Like Poetry, was nominated for the Laugh Out Loud Award, an award Joshua has subsequently won twice. He is also a recipient of The People’s Book Prize, and has performed at schools and festivals around the world, including the Edinburgh Book Festival, the Cheltenham Literature Festival, and the Emirates Literature Festival. He is an Official Ambassador for National Poetry Day, and has been commissioned to write and perform for the BBC. He can normally be found running poetry workshops and performances in schools, either online or in real life. His website is www.joshuaseigal.co.uk. Chris Piascik started his career as a graphic designer at award-winning studios in the Northeast USA before accidentally becoming an illustrator. This strange transformation was the result of his daily drawing project that he started in late 2007 and, in fact, he's still posting a new drawing every day.
When you read this book, the windows will burp and the grass will
turn blue. That's how magic these poems are.

If ... you still think, 'I don’t like poetry,’ this might be the

collection.

What do you mean you don’t like poetry? This must mean you’ve not
read the debut collection of poems from Joshua Seigal!

I Don’t Like Poetry is a cracking cornucopia mixing riddles,
rhythm, rhyme and revelry. If ever you’ve thought that you or the
young people you know don’t like poetry, please allow yourselves an
early Christmas present and treat yourself to this. It will change
your mind and brighten your heart. We all need reasons to laugh and
smile this year, and this is an excellent source of lifted
spirits.
*Zoe Toft, Playing by the Book*
With poems on every topic from the power of books to the joys of
fried chicken, this collection is a fabulous mix of Joshua Seigal's
subversive humour and insight into the world of children. Children
will definitely love poetry after reading this!
