Review of my new book

If anybody is interested, Jonathan Shaw, ex-Editor of NSW School Magazine, has posted a terrific review of my new book on his blog.

Goodonya Stephen, that's a great accolade, even if he thought some of your jokes were groan-worthy :)

Kids poems should have 'groanworthy' jokes in them...otherwise they would be adult poems.... 8-) ...although... this site has some groanworthy jokes too...well done anyway Stephen.

(Haven't heard anything from Sunrise either by the way.)

Thanks, Ross. Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Thanks everybody else, too.

I've written an article about writing the book, which - if you're REALLY interested - you can find here:
