The Mighty Slide

"The Mighty Slide" is a charming collection of humorous poems and short stories in verse by the beloved Allan Ahlberg. Aimed at children aged 6-9, this book features a variety of imaginative scenarios, from a girl who wakes up as two people to a man battling crocodiles and a mysterious "thing" living beneath a school. Illustrated with delightful drawings by Charlotte Voake, it's an excellent choice for fostering a love of poetry, expanding vocabulary, and simply enjoying pure, whimsical entertainment. Parents will appreciate the clever wordplay and the gentle, joyful tone.

‘This is the story Of Alison Hubble, Who went to bed single, And woke up double.’ Here, in verse, are the hilariously original stories of a mighty slide, a man who fought crocodiles, a girl who doubled, a couple of baby skinners and a thing that lived under a school. A wonderful collection from Allan Ahlberg, author of ‘Please Mrs Butler, Woof!’ and ‘Happy Families’, illustrated throughout with delightful drawings by Charlotte Voake.
