Squawk! Snuffle! Bark! Roar! Feathers, fins, scales, claws. Running, hopping, crawling, soaring. All creatures are celebrated in this new collection of poetry by Lorraine Marwood.
New childrens poetry collections are few and far between in Australia, which is regrettable, but fortunately Marwood, (with the support of publisher Walker Books) continues to produce quality collections of Aussie children to savour. * Aussie Reviews *
Schools are always looking for poetry books that are accessible to kids. In Guinea Pig Town, Marwood has struck just the right balance of literary merit and fun, of finely-tuned phrases and language that engages kids in a conversation. * The Book Chook *
A modern, uplifting approach that is sure to inspire * ABC Regional Radio Statewide Afternoons *
Lorraine Marwood's titles include A Ute Picnic and Other Australian Poems, Ratwhiskers and Me, and Star Jumps.
