`On seeing Throbb trying to blow on the front of his trousers in some inane ritual he decided that the inspector was being his usual prattish self and walked off in the direction of the fishing tackle shop to renew his licence.'Throbb is a maverick police inspector. His colleagues think him weird and his pet fish has died of nicotine poisoning. His current cases are a woman with a genie ear and a psychic who could also be a burglar.Throbb models himself on Jules Maigret, a 1960s French fictional police detective and shares his dress sense with the American detective Columbo who mostly solved crimes wearing a raincoat.Will his experiences give you the foundations to become a super ace detective? No. In fact, just go along for the ride and enjoy the impossibilities.

Did you know that spiders have a bad time? And that while I was bouncing on my mum's bed all the words fell out of my head? And there was a tiger in my lunchbox!! I know, all in the same week! And our neighbour woke up to find she had grown a horn out of the top of her head! Anyway, let me tell you all about it in rhyme. I can also tell you about the princess who only had one toe and the little cow that wanted to be a different.Come on, we'll have fun!

This time we look at height and lack of it. We meet my friend the Boolabat; check under the toilet rim for noises and we wait for the birth of a brand new word. We peep around the door at If and What and How and Why; and then we make a whoopity pie!And it doesn't stop there! There's a hairy bluebottle buzzing around and a squid in the toilet (maybe that's the noise under the rim .....).Come on, let's turn the page together!

Zany stories in rhyme for children. A one sided princess who finds love; a black and white cow that doesn't like where he's living; a mad recipe for a whoopity pie and a boolabat who likes to chat about the weather ..... and that's not all. Fun poems that will stir children's imaginations and maybe their creativity. Best get some drawing equipment out and see what the characters inside look like!!!!
