Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble — Paul Cookson

Can you hear the distant dragon's rumble of thunder? And smell the sweet swampy aroma of the ogre? Can you taste the tangy tarantula tarts? And see the girl who's really a wizard? From magic carpets and wands to unicorns, potions, creams and lotions, Paul Cookson's brewing a spell of fantastically magic poems.



On this tattered magic carpet

You can choose your destination

For nothing's quite as magical

As your imagination
