    About this ebook

    Why are there mice swimming in the loo, what are those llamas wearing, and just who is Cherub Ian? Discover all this and more in Pickled Poems, an Aussie anthology of nonsense verse and poems for kids of all ages.

    Janelle Bailey

    I am the author of two books, Pickled Poems, an anthology of nonsense verse for children, and Something Beautiful, a volume of poems and reflections for adults. The publication of these books has been most unexpected, as chronic illness has created great limitations on my life. I consider my books to be a gift to myself, and hopefully to my readers. It is one of my greatest wishes that readers young and old be able to enjoy and share my poems and writings.
