From water-vapour to robots and outer-space to water, this highly original collection from John Agard, winner of the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry, explores everything exciting about science. Delighting in the wonder and oddities physics, biology and chemistry have to offer, these poems will bring out the scientist in you!

Scintillating science poems from the highly original partnership of one of Britain's best-known poets and an award-winning illustrator, creators of Einstein, The Girl Who Hated Maths, We Animals Would Like a Word With You and Points of View with Professor Peekaboo.
