Customer Rating:      Summary: IF LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE EVERYONE SHOULD OWN THIS BOOK Comment: I remember watching Pam on Opportunity Knocks when I was 11 and I loved her poems then, this is the 1st book I've bought of hers and I'm so glad I did, It's so hillarious, when trying to read out a poem to my mum I had to keep stopping as I was doubled up with laughter, "Do you think Bruce Springstein would fancy me" "I wish I'd looked after me teeth" and "Please will you take your children home before I do them in" and "aerobics" are my favourites, they crack me up every time, Buy this book, you'll be glad you did!
Customer Rating:      Summary: A book to enjoy for all ages Comment: Pam Ayres is one of those rare people who can bring tears of laughter to her audience with her gentle humour, whatever their age. These poems are from her early years and seem just as fresh as ever. Pam has written some introductions to the poems and there are some nice line drawings. I think most people will have heard at least one of the poems; I'm half expecting Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall to recite "The Battery Hen" at any moment, it is just as true now as it ever was.
I can't imagine anyone not getting enjoyment from this book, it proves that poetry doesn't have to be dull.
