Squeak, Squawk, Roar!
Amazing Animal Poems
Age 6+
Poetry
Over fifty poems celebrating all aspects of our relationship with the animal kingdom. The first solo collection from an already well-known and much-anthologised poet.
Come on a nature adventure, in over 50 poems about all kinds of animals, from the albatross to the wombat! Find a coiling cobra, a crosseros rhinoceros, the chimpantease and sharky-lurky. See tiger shadows in the bedroom, a real tiger creeping in the jungle – and lazy lion lounging in the long grass. Discover endangered creatures: a baby polar bear, a song thrush, a hungry hedgehog. Look for diving penguins and the loveable sausage-dog – and there's a secret pet to guess! This is a wonderful, wide-ranging debut collection for animal-lovers everywhere.

Kate Williams' poems have appeared in many anthologies and magazines but this is her first solo collection. Kate spent her childhood in London, next door to a cat, a tortoise and some terrapins. She later moved to Bristol – in earshot of the zoo – and now lives in the rolling farmland of Wales, surrounded by baas, moos and cock-a-doodle-do’s.
