Another Humane and Entertaining Book !,
By
This review is from: Funky Chickens (Hardcover)
Funky Chickens is another book of humane, compassionate and entertaining poems by vegan/animal lover Benjamin Zephaniah. His writing is delightful and addictive. If all children and adults were to read this book it would be for the betterment of a world that needs more conciliation, reverence for life and respect for both humans and the animal kingdom ! Benjamin Zephaniah is England's goodwill envoy who loves all sentient beings ! He is also multi-talented!

funky poems,
By el (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Funky Chickens (Puffin Poetry) (Paperback)
Funky Chickens is a fab book, Benji puts into words what I think but dont know how to say. Its fab, hip hop, funky poems on funky often over looked subjects. Ideal for kids to grannies it really cheers you up. Its a great follow up to Talking Turkeys. Go buy it and start saving the funky chickens (you'll want to if you read it) but if you were at all attached to Benji's cat after the first book avoid reading about her in this book cause you'll cry, i cried.
