Synopses & Reviews
Here is a collection of fabulously funny poems put together by John Foster and illustrated with creative genius by Korky Paul. There are poems by a range of authors about all kinds of football matches - including meteorite footballs, football on the moon, a witches versus wizards football match, the goalie with expanding hands, and the Stone Age man who invented football. Guaranteed to delight, this is a perfect introduction to poetry either at home or at school.
Review
"A lively collection of verses which are accompanied by Korky Paul's equally energetic illustrations. Fantastic Football Poems is bound to be a hit."--The School Librarian
""Fantastic" is certainly an apt choice of word to describe the poems in this collection."--Children's Books in Ireland
