Book Description
'Don't put confetti on the spaghetti/ And don't squash peas on your knees/ Don't put ants in your pants/ Don't put mustard in the custard' Writer and broadcaster Michael Rosen breaks down barriers with his poems for children, creating an infectious informality andirreverence that captures the very funny (and sometimes sad) moments of family life. Acclaimed artist Quentin Blake's much-loved loopily anarchic illustrations perfectly complement and bring to life Rosen's poems. His deceptively simple illustrations are witty, sophisticated and subtle, all with huge child-appeal. Rosen and Blake are one of the most popular and enduring partnerships writing and illustrating for children today. In the 1980s they collaborated on You Can't Catch Me and Don't Put Mustard in the Custard. This book brings together the poems and illustrations from those two books, with some new illustrations and an introduction specially written by Michael Rosen.

Book Description
'You Can't Catch Me' and 'You Can't Put Mustard in the Custard' were first published 25 years ago and were groundbreaking in that they were full-colour illustrated new poems for children. 'You Can't Catch Me' won the Signal Poetry Award in 1982. Both books went on to be bestsellers and both poet and artist are stellar names in the world of children's books. The book includes an introduction by Michael Rosen and an audio CD of the book, with all the poems also read by Michael. Michael's brilliantly conversational poetry is fantastically matched by Quentin Blake's loopy yet perfectly detailed art. It is a partnership that Bloomsbury is proud to be making newly available.

Book Description
dear joe, your wild noisy huge brother is dead. i couldn't do what my parents did: bring two boys, four years apart, through the maze in 72 prose-poems of extraordinary power and vividness, Michael Rosen tells the story of a life: his left-wing Jewish upbringing, with baffling childhood trips to Trafalgar Square, eastern Europe and hospital, followed by trainee days at the BBC under the watchful eyes of Mi5, breakdown of a marriage, development of a new relationship, and the joy of a new baby. And, in a core series of pieces, the central calamity of his life: the sudden death from meningitis of his eighteen-year-old son. 'Rather you than me' said one of the neighbours on hearing the news - a remark that Rosen records, as he does much else to do with the death, with a surprised, painful honesty which constantly brings the reader up short. Unflinching, totally lacking in mawkishness and self-pity, Carrying the Elephant is a triumph of imagination and curiosity.
