Cholesterol
A short comic verse, often read in lower schools and performed enthusiastically by the children
Fernando Fox
Another piece taken from the "Alphabetical Poetical Animal House" collection, set in the stereotype of the English countryside.
Patrick Panda
Taken from the collection of comic-verse "Alphabetical Poetical Animal House", this poem - and its heroic star panda - became a crossover sensation when it was adapted for a famous television commercial.
The Glooom
These are the opening lines of Des Red's endearing space-adventure, "The Glooom", which tells the tale of rival species inhabiting a ravaged planet and its lush orbiting moon. Needless to say, in these times of greater ecological awareness, it has become a modern classic; an entertaining way to inform children (and everyone) about the climate crisis. It has been adapted into an animated short-film.
Anthony Ant
A delightful comic-verse that forms the opening piece to the "Alphabetical Poetical Animal House", a collection of twenty-six children's poems about clever animals.
A Secret
A short, simple poem for children that bounces along with a lovely tempo. The question remains: what is that secret?
The Fantasy Zoo
Well-loved children's nonsense verse, often included on the English curriculum at junior schools.
