An Imaginary Menagerie: Poems And Drawings

A new edition of the classic Roger McGough collection of animal verse, with the author's own illustrations. Ever see an anaconda drive through town on a brand new Honda? Don't ask him for a ride. You might end up inside. From the Allivator to the Zonk, here are seventy-two gloriously witty poems that young readers will love and return to again and again.

Real and imaginary animals, from newts with flutes to boisterous baboons in hot-air balloons, crowd Roger McGough's celebrated collection, now in a new edition for a new generation. Rich in invention, wordplay, and humor, with Roger's own delightful, quirky illustrations.
