"Beautifully produced with exciting artwork, this book is a pleasure to behold... it's a truly brilliant book to give to a child that thinks he or she doesn't like poetry." The Irish Post"

John Hegley was very glad to receive a pair of glasses at the age of twelve - he'd wanted some since he was five. Years later he worked with two children's theatre companies: Soapbox and Professor Dogg's Troupe, before becoming the popular, highly original stand-up comedian, poet, singer, songwriter and glasses-wearer that he is today. John Hegley has bendy hands and his dog ran away in 1985. Joel Stewart is the illustrator of the celebrated children's books The Adventures of a Nose (9780744581386) and The Jabberwocky (9781844284764). He lives in Cornwall.
