Colin McNaughton introduces readers to monsters, dinosaurs, giants and other larger-than-life characters through funny, rhythmic verses that invite reading aloud. The poems are drawn from favourites requested by children at his events, including the well-known “I’m Talking Big”. A playful question-and-answer section at the end gives readers a glimpse of the poet behind the poems and celebrates the imaginative questions children love to ask.
