This full colour hardback is a wild and wacky, perfectly silly and always entertaining, collection of Joy Cowley’s rhymes, poems and very short stories.

Upside down toads, witchy traffic jams, aviator elephants and baggy clowns. Fizzy lemonade, feathers and prickles, and cats galore!

From two lines to two pages, this assortment of silly is delicious to the ears, the eyes and the funny bone. From positively bonkers to a thought provoking tale where we humans are switched, silly prevails throughout.

The sounds roll off the tongue with sumptuous rhythm, and this collection shines with the genius of our own literary wordsmith and treasure, the multi award winning Joy Cowley.

Joy has transformed thousands of struggling readers into book lovers around the world, and A Lot of Silly will delight a whole new generation.

David Barrow’s illustrations increase the ‘silly’ factor for each rhyme, poem or story, bringing even more pleasure to little ones on knees and lovers of word play.

After all… don’t we all need a little silly?
