An Imaginary Menagerie

A new edition of the classic Roger McGough collection of animal verse, with the author's own illustrations

---

Ever see



an anaconda



drive through town



on a brand new Honda?



Don't ask him



for a ride.



You might end up



inside.



From the Allivator to the Zonk, here are seventy-two gloriously witty poems that young readers will love and return to again and again.



Real and imaginary animals, from newts with flutes to boisterous baboons in hot-air balloons, crowd Roger McGough's celebrated collection, now in a new edition for a new generation. Rich in invention, wordplay, and humour, with Roger's own delightful, quirky illustrations.
