Another entertaining selection of poems by best-selling author Gervase Phinn, everyone's favourite school inspector. In this book you will meet cheeky children, tetchy teachers and proud parents, in poems that are sometimes funny, sometimes sad and often thought-provoking. Gervase Phinn is the author of The Other Side of the Dale, Over the Hill and Dale and Head Over Heels in the Dales. His first poetry collection, It Takes One to Know One, is also available from Puffin.
Gervase Phinn is a bestselling author and poet, teacher, freelance lecturer, educational consultant, school inspector, visiting professor of education and, last but by no means least, father of four. The majority of his time is spent in schools with teachers and children. He is best known for his autobiographical accounts of his time as a school inspector in the Yorkshire Dales, which have been likened to James Herriot's books.
