Dinosaurs and Dinner LadiesWhat’s the real reason the dinosaurs died out? Can anyone rescue Class 3 from the wild dinner ladies? And what will happen when Class 2M meet a lion?

A book of brilliantly funny poems from John Dougherty, a well known fiction author, there are riddles, puzzles and haiku. There are illustrations from Tom Morgan Jones which give a great feel to the poems and even the most reluctant of readers will be smiling!

Published by the new children’s imprint of Otter-Barry, who has a commitment to four poetry collections a year and this is a terrific start.

Read all the poems in this book and my thoughts are that if they all have a final verse as Dinosaurs and Dinner Ladies, it’s going to make for some real fun reading!

….’ The dinosaurs are all long dead
Extinct,departed,sadly missed,
But survival of the fittest means
That dinner-ladies
Still exist.’

A great read for all ages and especially for 7- 10 years.
