Bookwagon I Bet I Can Make You Laugh

I Bet I Can Make You Laugh

£6.99

Joshua Seigal collaborates with poets including Andy Seed, Sue Hardy-Dawson to Lewis Carroll in his joy stacking collection I Bet I Can Make You Laugh. 

The range of subjects extends from dogs to smells to schools, while the forms and devices are huge and often hilariously developed, from a flawed acrostic, to a reluctant love letter. Furthermore, somehow, the poets have all considered what might appeal to young readers. Therefore the sounds and shapes of the poetry are accessible and truly enjoyable.

Bookwagon recommends I Bet I Can Make You Laugh for readers in school particularly. To see, hear and perform this collection would be an opportunity to really delight in a superb range of award-winning poems.

Description

I Bet I Can Make You Laugh

Joshua Seigal and friends

(Bloomsbury)

I Bet I Can Make You Laugh is a splendid selection of riotously funny poems of different forms and subjects. Poetry ranges from the daft, to the uproarious, the curious to the extreme. What’s more contributors to this award-winning collection include James Carter of Once Upon a Raindrop, Raymond Antrobus, A. F. Harrold and Lewis Carroll.
Bookwagon suggests that I Bet I Can Make You Laugh is a perfect choice for reading aloud, for enjoying in classroom sessions, and for learning by heart. The variety, beat and dynamism of this selection is inspiring. lt seems as though the poems can be ‘heard’ and realised and the mood transfers.

This collection was the winner of the 2020 Laugh Out Loud Awards.
