Description

A hilarious collection of pet poems by wordplay wizard Brian Bilston. When you've got a bad case of the 'mews' and are in desperate need of a 'pup'-lifting read, this book is the 'ulti-mutt' remedy. Please don’t think me lazy,I’m not trying to slack –it’s just that I’m stuck, you see,under this cat.

This collection of poems focuses on the hilarious happenings in the lives of our furry - and not so furry - friends. Stars include Wilf, the hypnotist Labracadabrador, a philosophically inclined goldfish penning a profound haiku, a hen named Barbara receiving an adoring tribute, and an 'octopussy' cat that seems to have all its paws in plenty of odd little pies. The perfect gift for a dog person, cat person and every pet lover in between.
