The comments from young readers (matched the age-defined chapters) adds to the discovery. It is a rich, diverse and challenging selection. This is indeed a great little book.

My daughter enjoyed it very much! Milligan's poetry is indeed, very musical, and is aptly interpreted by other media! Hi, thanks for the video link, Book Chook. My daughter enjoyed it very much!

I love the way Milligan did the recap - from memory "So it's ning nang nong, cows go bong, Nong nang ning, trees go ping ..."etc. I always loved Jabberwocky too. Corinne's comment made me remember they sang it on Play School in Australian TV, and I found the video which your daughter might like to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8CHnbdEXgQ I’m another fan.

I seem to remember hearing it set to music too but perhaps we just invented our own little sing-song with it. Sally -

Spike Milligan is a great favourite in our household - and somehow his nonsense poems are really easy to learn off by heart! We have this book - it is such a wonderfully eclectic selection; and Kelly, you're right: especially for a younger child, reading about why an older child has chosen a particular poem is really empowering in helping them to put together their own thoughts about a poem.

I do think the children's comments would add some clarity and thought for the kids afterwards. That sounds like a wonderful collection.
