Shocktopus by Harry Laing

Come on a poem adventure with Harry Laing. Verb-poems, shape-poems, chants, songs, rhymes, rap – they’re all jumping off the page. Shoctopus is brimming with humour and Clinton De Vere’s fun and quirky drawings are the perfect complement to the poems. This is a book for kids aged 6-12 or parents and grandparents. Harry’s poems aren’t just funny, they’ll make you excited about the magic of words and they might even get you writing your own poems.
