Michael Rosen's poems are actually funny and my last year's class just loved him, especially his video clips performing his own poetry which are available on line. This little book was one of his first. He writes about every day objects and circumstances, about things that would happen in a home... like the one about the mum waiting for her son to put his shoes on and he can't find them, or the one about what dad feeds the kids when the mum is away. I always was a big fan of his Down by the dustbin poems.
Down by the dustbin
I met a dog called Jim.
He didn't know me
And I didn't know him.
Check out the clip below of Rosen reciting some of his dustbin poetry.
