My Life as a Goldfish Reviews

'Lovely. A good follow up to the delightful, award-winning Language of Cat, this book features poems short and long, sometimes rhyming, sometimes not. I can't find a poem I don't like in here. Some of them are light hearted, but some are quite serious; most will appeal to adults as well as children.'


"This book is like opening a box of joy and laughter - we all love it."
