Allan Ahlberg 
The Mighty Slide 

‘ This is the story
Of Alison Hubble,
Who went to bed single,
And woke up double.’
Here, in verse, are the hilariously original stories of a mighty slide, a man who fought crocodiles, a girl who doubled, a couple of baby skinners and a thing that lived under a school. A wonderful collection from Allan Ahlberg, author of ‘Please Mrs Butler, Woof!’ and ‘Happy Families’, illustrated throughout with delightful drawings by Charlotte Voake.
