Can you hear the distant dragon's rumble of thunder? And smell the sweet swampy aroma of the ogre? Can you taste the tangy tarantula tarts? And see the girl who's really a wizard?

North Somerset Teacher's Book Award
Loads of fun, this is a light-hearted and crackling collection of poems which touches on magic of all kinds. [...] The poems are bursting with energy and humour which makes them fun to read and also an easy introduction to writing verse to anyone who wants to give it a try.
Julia Eccleshare M.B.E, LoveReading4Kids
Paul Cookson has brewed up an anthological crucible that's brimming over with magical poems. [...] Spellbinding it certainly is and I totally love the addition of Eilidh Muldoon's visual garnishing.
Jill R Bennett, Red Reading Hub
The poems are fun, quirky, humorous, some I already know which was so nice to see and bought back childhood memories.
Most of the poems had pictures which were beautifully illustrated and helped bring the poems to life. [...] I can't recommend reading this gorgeous book enough.

This was such a fun, entertaining collection of poetry that will certainly get you into the mood for all things eerie and hair-raising. You can tell that each poem was carefully chosen to be in the collection by the editor, Paul Cookson and everyone was perfect for it.
