Laughter is an Egg

Laughter is an egg

with a crick-crack face

that can hide in the heart

of the human race.

Tummy tickling, rib-cracking and even wee-yourself laughs can all be found in the pages of this eggstraordinary collection of poems, riddles, jokes and ballads from the wonderful John Agard.

Reviews

John Agard is a very exciting poet

—— TES

A fast-moving and totally absorbing adventure story

—— Books for Keeps

The drawing together of two children has hardly been done better since The Secret Garden

—— Growing Point

He's funny, clever, nimble and moving. Above all, his poetic generosity refuses to consider serious subjects as out of bounds just because he's writing for a young audience.
