Paul Cookson's staggeringly versatile range as a performance poet is fully displayed in this new collection. Humour, danger, wonder, surprise are the elements underlying his work. The collection contains some poems that need to be shouted and some that have to be whispered very quietly. There are many interactive poems in which a whole class or group of children can participate.
BEEP BEEP ! WHOOSH!
A great one to do with a high pitched “Beep Beep” and an extended quieter “Whoosh!”
Silver saucer shining bright
Flashing beams and laser lights
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh!
Faster than the speed of sound
See it spinning round and round
Beep! Beep! Whoosh!
Beep! Beep ! Whoosh!
Dissipates, evaporates
Hovers, dives and levitates
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh!
Breaking laws of gravity
Maximum velocity
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh!
Like a diamond in the sky
Beaming down from way on high
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh!
Nasty pilot, nasty crew
Coming down for me and you
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh …

About the Author
Paul Cookson has been visiting schools and festivals for 30 years now, performing his work and leading workshops.
This collection brings together many of his performance favourites for the first time. Like pantomime – but with better rhymes, Paul’s shows are instantly memorable, always fun and the best time you can have in a school hall.
He is also Poet in Residence for The National Football Museum, Poet Laureate for Slade and was commissioned by Everton Football Club to write their season ticket poem “Home” – which can be seen as a video on Youtube etc.
Currently he is involved with Don Powell from Slade and songwriter Les Glover, where they are writing new material and performing as Don Powell’s Occasional Flames
If he has any time left he reads lots of books, listens to music and plays one of his eight ukuleles. Not at the same time though. He’s not that clever.
Liz Million is a crazy, lively Illustrator and Author of children’s books and she likes to think that she has THE best job in world. When she isn’t painting and writing books in her little studio in the North East, she spends a lot of time travelling the world talking to eager children in amazing schools, libraries and museums! Her favourite things to draw with children are cartoony animals and crazy creatures.
She graduated from Kingston upon Thames University in 1998 after her Illustration degree and was snapped up by a publisher straight away and she has been illustrating ever since.
Liz loves living in Darlington with her lovely husband, her crazy son, George and her cute Bedlington terrier, Peggy

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
