Description

Welcome to The Bubble Wrap, a snappy new collection of poems bursting with energy, imagination and charm.

Where else will you find odes to everyday magic, three cans of spagnats, lies about trees, the sea and the moon, and the best thing about a sneeze? There’s a Haystack Noodle to make you feel brave, the horror of losing your shoes on the first day of school, and the danger of picking your ball out of a brambly hedge.

Discover umpteen alternative uses for your smart phone (without it leaving your hand) and many more unlikely celebrations in this exhilarating and inventive debut collection for young people of all ages.
