A glorious book of rhythmic short poems about words that have been removed from the Collins Children's English dictionary. Macfarlane and Morris want to celebrate these words, and to give them new life. And so they do. It is a perfect collaboration: The poems are written by nature writer Robert Macfarlane, with illustrations by Jackie Morris that alight the page and make every word move with the quickness of a bird in flight.
