Dinosaurs And Dinner Ladies
Age 12+
Poetry
This is a funny and brilliant debut collection from the author of the bestselling Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face series.
There once was an enormous lion
Whose name was Miserable Ryan,
A beast both furious and wild,
Whose favourite food of all was – child!
What’s the REAL reason the dinosaurs died out? Can anyone rescue Class 3 from the wild dinner-ladies? And what will happen when Class 2M meet a lion?
