From the return of Hector the Horrible Hedgehog to the introduction of Mr Slime, the second volume of delightful verse from Children's Laureate Wales Alex Wharton is packed full of funny, imaginative poetry.
All is still on poetry hill;
the poet doesn’t speak.
He piles his thoughts into
a heap and slips into
his dreams.
From Children’s Laureate Wales Alex Wharton comes Red Sky at Night: A Poet’s Delight – a second collection of funny and thoughtful poems, aimed at developing a love of language and self-expression.
Readers will be excited by fun new characters like Mr Slime and the return of Hector the Horrible Hedgehog from Daydreams and Jellybeans, as well as being introduced to powerful and moving poems such as ‘Young Oak’, ‘The Long Way Home’, and ‘For a Quiet Day’.

I love love love this little poetry books so much! An amazing collection, I highly recommend it!! Fabulous content, and messages with brilliant illustrations!
Really enjoyed this collection of poems for young people.
This stands out from the crowd of childrens poetry because not every poem is a joke, or particularly silly. You can really feel that Wharton is encouraging...
