LoveReading4Kids Says

Age 7+. A deliciously macabre collection of cautionary poems in which gruesome and grisly children are taught the errors of their ways. McGough’s own poem ‘Cautionary Tales’ entertainingly describes the fate that befalls Josephine whose lack of application at school cause leads fairly directly to her rather nasty fate. Familiar and unfamiliar, including very old favourites such as Poor Old Lady which tells of the woman who inexplicably swallows a fly – and then the rest -, all heed caution. Wonderfully macabre illustrations by the supremely talented Chris Mould complete a completely original book of poetry.
