This book was released in
1997. Like all David's books the title is also the title of one of
the poems in the collection, and the cover design was chosen to reflect
the fact that there were a number of food poems in the book. The
single most popular poem in this collection has to be Friday Night
Fast Food Trolley Dash, with its trolley pushing, finger wagging
chorus.
Interesting Book Fact
1: Anne Hodgkiss got the idea for the full page illustration to
the tiltle poem from the paintings of heads by the 15th century italian
artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo
Interesting Book Fact 2: David made up all the names in The Rhyming Primary
School except one. While all of the rhyming characters
probably exist somewhere, the only person David knows to be real is
Linda Pinder who was - and probably still is - an infant teacher!
