Long, free-verse poems conjure Rosen’s performances as he plays with words, memories and wild imaginings."" The Times Praise for Michael Rosen: “Michael Rosen is a poet with a superb ear for the rhythms of language” Guardian “One of our most popular writers – the champion for every bored, overdrilled, tested-to-tears pupil in the land” The Times
