Charlie Poons Pomes — Robin Hawdon

Unable to find good funny poems to read aloud to his grandchildren - other than the ninety year old A.A. Milne classics - British playwright Robin Hawdon sat down to write some himself. The result is this collection of thirty hilarious and touching poems, beautifully illustrated by Wendy Hoile, which recount the exploits of young Charley Poon - every parent's nightmare - and his eccentric menagerie of nursery animals.
