A big, fat anthology of poems about families, mostly by well-known poets. Sections on: mums, dads, grandmothers, grandfathers, brothers and sisters, new babies, aunts, uncles and cousins. Also a general section, another on 'remembering', and one about pets. Just about every feeling about family members is covered - happy, sad, funny or reflective. Black and white line drawings are found throughout, and the poems are given plenty of space on the page.
