Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble: Magical Poems Chosen by Paul Cookson

Description

Can you hear the distant dragon’s rumble of thunder? And smell the sweet swampy aroma of the ogre? Can you taste the tangy tarantula tarts? And see the girl who’s really a wizard? From magic carpets and wands to unicorns, potions, creams and lotions, Paul Cookson’s brewing a spell of fantastically magic poems.

On this tattered magic carpet
You can choose your destination
For nothing’s quite as magical
As your imagination
