About this title

Synopsis:

A major new book of poems from one of the country's most popular poets. As always, the poems range from the sad and serious (including the title poem about the impossibility of teaching your children anything) through to the brilliant jokes and word-play for which McGough is justly famous. "A trickster you can trust... both ordinary and magical" - Poetry Review "Deftness does not preclude seriousness. His deliberately comic spirit is most refreshing" - Elizabeth Jennings, Daily Telegraph
