The problem with working in a library is that there's
never enough time to read the books!

Has anyone read Dennis Lee's books of children's
poetry? Alligator Pie, Nicholas Knock, ...darn, can't
remember the rest of the titles. Very funny stuff.
Nyssa also had a book of poetry titled 'I'm Mad At
You', but it got lost somewhere and we've never been
able to find it again. Anyone heard of this/know who
the author is? I'd love to find a copy for my niece
and nephews.
