Have you ever folded a poem? Each of the poems shows the spirit of making an origami item. When a young boy uses his imagination, the poems and animals he is creating, come to life. You don't need to know the ins and outs of the beautiful art of paper folding, you just need a comfy chair to sit back, relax in and stop and enjoy some fun and different poetry. You do not have to be a kid to read these neat poems, just a kid at heart. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

The Owl and the Pussycat goes beyond the quirky charm of the beloved poem. Set in a world that is rife with segregation, where everyone hides behind a mask, an aristocratic owl and a bohemian pussycat find each other. Escaping disapproval they sail on their pea green boat to a utopia of mismatched creatures. Beautifully designed in a volume that is slim. This is a celebration of love and an exhilarating journey. ~ Reviewed by Jessica Wood
