Quick, Let's Get Out Of Here

First published January 1, 1983
Shreddies in my hair. I looked at Eddie. Eddie's looking at me. Big grin on his face. I knew he had done it. Last week he put pepper in the raisins. The yucky things your brother does, the annoying things your parents say, the funny things you feel. Michael Rosen knows all about YOU! Look inside and see if he's spotted your deepest, darkest secrets. A much-loved classic of family life from the brilliant Michael Rosen & Quentin Blake. 

Michael Rosen was brought up in London. He originally tried to study medicine before starting to write poems & stories. His poems are about all kinds of things – but always important things – from chocolate cake to bathtime.
