You Can`t Catch Me and You Can`t Put Mustard in the Custard were first published twenty-five years ago and were groundbreaking in that they were full-colour illustrated new poems for children. You Can`t Catch Me won the Signal Poetry Award in 1982. Both books went on to be bestsellers and both poet and artist are stellar names in the world of children`s books. The book includes an introduction by Michael Rosen and an audio CD of the book, with all the poems also read by Michael. Michael`s brilliantly conversational poetry is fantastically matched by Quentin Blake`s loopy yet perfectly detailed art. It is a partnership that Bloomsbury is proud to be making newly available.
