He brought the poems to fluent, humorous life, full of expression, at a first reading, clearly getting as much pleasure out of his performance as he gave. It’s not difficult to see why Turner’s first collection, ‘The Day I Fell Down the Toilet’, was so successful."" -- Sara O-Reilly * Time Out * ""Uncovers a seam of humour to which children and adults can relate but which also has more enduring characteristics such as sensitivity and compassion."" * Oxford Times * ""One of the most original and child-friendly voices to emerge in the last few years."" * Sunday Telegraph *" Author InformationSteve Turner (Author) STEVE TURNER is a performance poet and journalist.
