BOTTLING BURPS FOR GRANDMA
by Andrew Collett, Illustrated by Debbie Hookway
ISBN978-1-872438-27-6 (1999) A5, 80pp pbk., £4.50
Only a few years ago, Andrew Collett was an ex-teacher who had published several of his own poems in magazines and in small collections he had assembled himself. Then, in October 1998, his first book for The King’s England Press, ALWAYS EAT YOUR BOGIES (still available, £4.50) hit the streets. Appearances on Anglia TV and innumerable local radio stations have led to Andrew being kept constantly busy with signing sessions and gigs at schools and other venues, but somehow, he found the time to scribble yet more of the weird and wacky verse for which he’s famous.
The result of that “repeat” performance was his next collection, BOTTLING BURPS FOR GRANDMA (£4.50) Burps can be bottled and nappies can be recycled: read this book and find out how. Andrew will also fill you in on many uses for ear wax (not all of them nice) and tell you the tale of Ten Foot Terry. Read these poems and you’ll never look at a dinosaur on the telly in the same way again, or go to the loo without first checking for Colonel Reginald Blow Him Up Dan. If you’ve ever wondered about teachers’ tummy buttons, putrid pizzas, or whether headlice do handstands, this book is for you. If that doesn’t appeal, how about your sister sharing the bath with a crocodile?
