Reviews for My Life as a Goldfish: and other poems
'Lovely. A good follow up to the delightful, award-winning Language of Cat, this book features poems short and long, sometimes rhyming, sometimes not. I can’t find a poem I don’t like in here. Some of them are light hearted, but some are quite serious; most will appeal to adults as well as children.' "This book is like opening a box of joy and laughter – we all love it." 'Lovely.
