Excellent reading for Children
Our eldest grand-daughter (aged 9yrs) has been reading poetry by Spike Milligan in school in Australia. She thoroughly enjoyed the funny poems. So we bought this book and sent it out for a Christmas present

Still the best
Sir Spike Milligan *bows in reverence*The world lost a most remarkable individual. When my eldest was in secondary school and as per curriculum the books were unimaginative and stale.So I bought her this book for her to see how fun the English language could be,without her knowing she learnt more about literature than thought irk irk...This was 10 years ago,Now I have her little sister who loves On the Ning Nang Nong,especially with sound effects.Let the light live on!

funny in parts
Exactly what you'd expect from Milligan. Surrealist in parts, funny in parts. But at all times you're aware that the kids are getting something they wouldn't be getting anywhere else.

Great material from Spike let down in this book by typos and poor transcription from the original poems/limericks
Great material from Spike but be aware this version (the hardback in our case) is littered with typos and in some cases the words changed from the original poem probably through poor transcription. They should have employed a proof reader!

Perhaps he'd like to come inside and see whats on the telly'The first poem I ever learned and one that has always stayed with me.Essential reading, I cant wait til my daughters old enough to enjoy them.Wonderful stuff.

Very pleased with my purchase.
I like Spikes sense of humour. Cheers you up on a dismal day. I also use it for poetry meetings with friends.
