Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Book of Not Entirely Useful Advice by A.F. Harrold, read by A.F. Harrold.
A riotous celebration of words and a modern take on cautionary tales - featuring advice on parrots, gravy, mathematics, castles (bouncy), spiders, vegetables (various), breakfast, cakes and removing ducks from soup.
Advice comes in many shapes.
Poems come in many shapes.
And so, it follows, poems of advice come in many shapes, too.
Sometimes they look you in the eye and say, ‘Do this! Don’t do that!’
Sometimes they sidle up beside you and whisper, ‘Have you ever thought about...?’
Not everything in this book is necessarily good advice, and not all of it is sensible advice. (But if you take the bad or unsensible advice and don’t follow it, then it may become useful advice in its own way.)
Filled with silly rhymes, witty wordplay and thought-provoking story poems, this collection will delight children of all ages.
