There’s Dad’s disgusting nettle soup and peculiar pancakes, horrible home haircuts, punishing press-ups and scum in the bathtub. BUT then there’s the joy of boxing lessons with Dad, fun family outings, jokes and pranks – and storytelling round the fire. Not to mention a home-made birthday cake like no other!
Oliver’s real-life childhood – rough, tough but happy – is vividly depicted in this groundbreaking debut story told in poems.
Suitable for ages 5+
