About the Book

Bestselling poet James Carter and illustrator Neal Layton love bugs and minibeasts and here they celebrate them all – from grasshoppers, ladybirds and dung beetles to moths, flies, wasps – and even bedbugs. Including the extraordinary tardigrades who can live in outer space. With 24 poems, including shape poems, riddles, rhyming poems and free verse, plus amazing and informative facts about each bug or minibeast on every page, the world of insects is brought buzzing to life, matched by Neal Layton’s bugtiful colour illustrations.

About the Author :
James Carter is a former lecturer in Creative Writing and Children's Literature at Reading University – now a world-travelling children's poet, giving performances with his melodica at festivals, workshops and in libraries and schools. His previous books for younger children are Zim Zam Zoom, illustrated by Nicola Colton, and A Ticket to Kalamazoo, illustrated by Neal Layton. He lives in Oxfordshire. Neal Layton studied Graphic Design and Illustration at Newcastle University and Central St Martin's School of Art. His images are prized for their spontaneity and inventiveness. His picture books include The Tree, The Story of Stars, and A Planet Full of Plastic. He lives on the Isle of Wight.

Review :
Exuberant, energetic and engaging, Boing not only offers a collection of twenty-four poems about insects, but plenty of fascinating facts as well...The poems are fun, sure to engage and be enjoyed! Here Carter – one of the most established poets for the young – takes a more novel approach; he combines his lively, humorous , punchy verses with carefully selected facts. The whole is brought together by Neal Layton’s energetic, amusing illustrations... Combined, the verses, the facts, the visuals, really do ‘boing’ off the page. This would be ideal shared within a classroom. With 24 poems, including shape poems, riddles, rhyming poems and free verse, plus amazing and informative facts about each bug or minibeast on every page, the world of insects is brought buzzing to life, matched by Neal Layton's bugtiful colour illustrations. [...] A collection that’s full of fun poems, sprinkled with facts, exuberantly illustrated and well worth adding to a classroom collection or home bookshelves. I’m sure if you start reading one or two aloud, there’ll be requests for ‘MORE PLEASE!’ ACHUKA Book of the Day 28 Jan 2025 - This splendid picture-book-sized poetry collection gets off to a flying start with a clever counting poem, Just Like Bugs. The buggy theme continues throughout this colourful celebration of mini-beasts from grasshoppers, ladybirds, and dung beetles to moths, flies, wasps and even bedbugs. With 24 poems, including shape poems, riddles, rhyming poems and free verse, plus amazing and informative facts about each bug or minibeast on every page, the world of insects is brought buzzing to life. Heartily recommended for home and class libraries alike.
