If Bees Rode Shiny Bicycles

“Hundreds and thousands of stars
curved cashew moon
sky the colour of chocolate
ten sausage toes in socks
warm as toast beneath the blankets
and cream sheets
my mother’s words:
‘you look good enough to eat!'”
Divided into twelve tantalising sections, including ‘Things with Wings’, ‘Fantastical Nonsense’, and ‘Weird and Wonderful’, each poem in this playful collection will spread tingles and give goose bumps to anyone who reads them!

If Bees Rode Shiny Bicycles is whimsical, delightful, and a perfect introduction to the fantastical world of poetry for children, from one of Australia’s finest contemporary poets.
