Synopsis

A delightful melange of quirky poems by one of this country's most popular poets. my doggie don't wear glasses; so they're lying when they say; a dog looks like its owner; aren't they; John Hegley's doggie may not wear glasses, but then she is a carrot. Enter this celebrated poet's weird, witty and bespectacled world and meet Grandma with her filthy glasses, the organic leek who has learned how to speak, the octopus who gets a nasty shocktopus, the man who drew his cornflakes and a whole cast of other interesting characters. Surprising, serious, and sometimes just plain surprising, this is a collection of poems even your dog might like. Unless, of course, your dog is a carrot too.

About this title

Review:

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 *

About the Author:

John Hegley was very glad to be given a pair of glasses at the age of twelve - he'd wanted some since he was five. Many years later he worked with two children's theatre companies: Soapbox and Professor Dogg's Troupe, before becoming the popular and 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.
