Children will enjoy reading poems about many of the typical adventures and mishaps that occur when they go outside. There will be poems featuring school camps, family picnics and church outings, with related themes of animals, nature and weather, awe and wonder. As in her previous collection, Breaking the Rules, Coral writes with insight and humour, using a variety of different verse forms, enhancing both the book’s visual and educational appeal.
