'You Can’t Catch Me' and 'You Can’t Put Mustard in the Custard' were first published 25 years ago and were groundbreaking collections of poems for children. 'You Can’t Catch Me' won the Signal Poetry Award in 1982, and both books went on to become bestsellers. Combined here for the first time, the conversational and fun poetry from both these collections is fantastically matched by silly but perfectly detailed full-colour illustrations. A CD is also provided so that children can listen to their favourite poems. Don't put confetti on the spaghetti and don't squash peas on your knees. Don't put ants in your pants don't put mustard in the custard ... 'A treasure for children and adults alike.' - Big Issue 'I've never met a child who didn't like Quentin Blake.' - Daily Telegraph 'Michael Rosen is a poet with a rambling gift who shows how far from ordinary are the most ordinary of events.' - Times Educational Supplement
