Description
Children will enjoy reading poems about many of the typical adventures and mishaps that occur when they go outside. There will be poems featuring school camps, family picnics and church outings, with related themes of animals, nature and weather, awe and wonder. As in her previous collection, Breaking the Rules, Coral writes with insight and humour, using a variety of different verse forms, enhancing both the book's visual and educational appeal.
A new collection of poems about children's encounters with the great outdoors

Reviews
My Teacher's as Wild as a Bison 'Coral Rumble's book is safe, light comedy. She has an eye on the national literacy strategy, with its riddles, kennings, tongue-twisters, shape poems and the rest. Throughout, the exclamation marks scream: yes, this is a joke!' The Times Educational Supplement, TES Teacher * TES Teacher *
