Product Description
This is a delightful collection of quirky poems by one of this country's most popular poets. Enter the celebrated poet's weird, witty, bespectacled world and meet the organic leek who has learned to speak, the octopus who gets a nasty shocktopus, the man who drew his cornflakes and a whole cast of other interesting characters. Surprising, serious, and sometimes just plain silly, this is a collection of poems even your dog might like. Unless your dog is a carrot too.

Review
"Beautifully produced with exciting artwork, this book is a pleasure to behold... it's a truly brilliant book to give to a child that thinks he or she doesn't like poetry." The Irish Post"
About the Author
John Hegley was very glad to receive a pair of glasses at the age of twelve - he'd wanted some since he was five. Years later he worked with two children's theatre companies: Soapbox and Professor Dogg's Troupe, before becoming the popular, highly original stand-up comedian, poet, singer, songwriter and glasses-wearer that he is today. John Hegley has bendy hands and his dog ran away in 1985. Joel Stewart is the illustrator of the celebrated children's books The Adventures of a Nose (9780744581386) and The Jabberwocky (9781844284764). He lives in Cornwall.

As Nutritious as Poetry Gets....
Bright,bold and funky, "My Dog is a Carrot" says it all. John Hegley invites you into the weird, wacky and wonderful world of poetry. The distinct illustrations add life to the poems such that they posess a unique identity of their own. John Hegley compares logs and dogs, uncles and aunts. Here it is...a nutritious collection of poetry for your heart to digest...
"MY DOG IS A CARROT"
Strange title, ace poems!
I got this for my birthday and at first i was a little unsure about it after reading the title, but it is a very fun little book of poems! Funny, random anything really.... well, any type of poem apart from serious ones!
A fantastic little book of poems for all ages, worth a look!
