This long-awaited collection by Tasmanian poet M.M.L. Bliss will engage and delight readers of all ages

From a musical washing machine to an aunt who knits and internets; from baboons to spring bulbs; from the secret women's business of finding the right dress for the school formal to the secret men's business of the untidy shed; from fertiliser to long drives with a brother and his smelly socks...
The family characters and wry humour of these poems make for a trial-bike ride along the firebreak of family life. The humorous illustrations are by Simon Barnard.

"I think the poems are very enjoyable to read." - Jean Flanagan (10)

"They're quite enjoyable. I really liked them." - William Syms (14)
