Here are some new friends: Nicholas Naylor (the deep-blue sailor), Ella McStumping (she's fond of jumping), Betsy Pud (she ate more than she should), and several more of the most unusual and funny people you'll ever meet. The same team that brought you Noisy Poems has collected a dozen new short and snappy poems about this odd and lively group. Nick Sharratt's colorful and amusing illustrations will bring hours of pleasure to young poetry fans, and Jill Bennett has gathered verses from a variety of poets that will keep you giggling from start to finish. The happy oddballs in PeoplePoems are a crowd of kooks that everyone will want to meet.
JILL BENNETT has taught at all levels of education from nursery school through teacher training. She also compiled Oxford's A Packet of Poems and Noisy Poems.
NICK SHARRATT also collaborated with Jill Bennett for the very successful Noisy Poems. He is a free-lance artist living in Tooting, London.
