This book, like The Truth About Teachers, is a larger format that most of Macmillan's paperback poetry anthologies. The only downside to that is, for poems that were already illustrated in previous books, they simply reprinted the illustration to save me some time. But they had to enlarge the pics to fit the format (they were done s/s for the original publications), expanding and reinforcing all the flaws and bits of dubious drawing. Oh, Well!
