From Friday the 13th through Lucky Pants to counting magpies this hilarious collection covers all angles of superstitions with poems that children will really want to read.
A short favourite of mine is:
I have a bag of apples which I keep just near the bed, and when the doctor rings the bell I pelt one at his head! – Geoff Lowe.
So, turn around three times, throw salt over your shoulder and buy the book.
A hilarious collection of poems featuring black cats, ladders, spilt salt, broken mirrors and many other weird and wonderful superstitions. Discover tips for avoiding danger and bad luck- and learn how to deal with misfortune and curses.
