What is Mind your own business about?

A lively collection of poems that sees childhood from the inside out. Michael Rosen writes about family life, school, games, arguments, embarrassing moments and the strange things children notice every day. His poems use energetic rhythms, surprising ideas and plenty of cheeky humour, turning ordinary experiences into something funny, exciting or thought-provoking. Quentin Blake’s lively illustrations add to the fun, making this an entertaining book to read aloud, dip into or share with friends.
