About this listen

A brand new collection of poetry by former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen, author of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, with illustrations by acclaimed artist Ed Vere.

What would it be like to live in the future? Or underwater? What would you do if you could go back in time? Or be a cat? Or a blood cell? What would happen if a monster ate every letter of the alphabet?

In this extraordinary collection of brand new poems, beloved writer and former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen will make you laugh, make you smile, make you think, and take you out of this world.

Beautifully illustrated throughout by acclaimed artist Ed Vere, this is a book to treasure and share – a perfect introduction to poetry for readers of all ages.

Critic Reviews

"These poems for children are little gems … Readers will find plenty to make them laugh and smile." ★★★★★ The Telegraph

"Out of This World has suitably comic and thoughtful monochrome details, scenes and silhouettes by the illustrator Ed Vere. Long, free-verse poems conjure Rosen’s performances as he plays with words, memories and wild imaginings." The Times

Praise for Michael Rosen:

“Michael Rosen is a poet with a superb ear for the rhythms of language” Guardian

“One of our most popular writers – the champion for every bored, overdrilled, tested-to-tears pupil in the land” The Times
