Mustard, Custard,
Grumble Belly and Gravy Michael Rosen PB £6.99 | ||||||
| You Can't Catch Me" and
"You Can't Put Mustard in the Custard" were first published
twenty-five years ago and were groundbreaking in that they were
full-colour illustrated new poems for children. "You Can't Catch Me"
won the Signal Poetry Award in 1982. Both books went on to be
bestsellers and both poet and artist are stellar names in the world
of children's books. Michael's brilliantly conversational poetry is
fantastically matched by Quentin Blake's loopy yet perfectly
detailed art. It is a partnership that Bloomsbury is proud to be
making newly available. | |||||||
