This book feels like another instant classic from the award-winning team of former Children's Laureate Rosen and the incredible Ed Vere. Featuring an otherworldly collection of a dozen dazzling poems, Out of This World is full of poems to make you laugh, make you smile and make you think. Properly think.
What if you lived in AD3528 and lived in Underwater London? Imagine a beast, a monster whose only food was letters, gobbling up the whole alphabet. What a nightmare that would be! What would it be like to be a red blood cell? Imagine a day in the life of a cat? What if you lived in a world of disaster daydreaming!
Full of crazy scenarios and bursting with imagination, this hardback collection of poems is a joy. And complemented by the most beautiful black and white illustrations throughout, this is a book that will serve generations of children and adults for years to come.

Michael Rosen on Michael Rosen:
I grew up in the London suburb of Pinner, a place my parents often wondered about. How had we landed there? My parents were teachers, politically committed (socialists), and great storytellers and readers. I was lucky to have found them.
Most of my adult life, I've been a freelance writer, teacher (of sorts), journalist, performer and broadcaster. I visit schools doing my one-man show, and support Arsenal Football Club.
I have often written about my life and family, but I also write occasional fantasy (usually based in a real place) and non-fiction.
