Don't Take Your Elephant to School Summary

Don't Take Your Elephant to School: An Alphabet of Poems by Steve Turner

Have you ever given thought to the rules a lion should follow at school? Or pondered on the worst thing about queues? You haven't? Then this book's for you? In this collection of over 70 poems, Steve Turner returns to much of the word play and wit of his best-selling The Day I Fell Down the Toilet. Using the alphabet as a framework, he has written three poems for each letter (including X and Z!). This highly entertaining book will delight all Turner fans and teachers will appreciate the varied poetry forms (shape, limerick, nonsense, free, rhyming, etc). The fun, witty poems - often written from a thought-provoking point of view - cover such diverse subjects as aardvarks, cars, sausages, love and yo-yos, so there's sure to be something to interest both boys and girls.
