Publisher's Synopsis

Matthew Sweeney is one of the most exciting and original writers of children's poetry. Up on the Roof includes a selection from two published collections, The Flying Spring Onion and Fatso in the Red Suit, along with fifteen new poems. 'There will certainly be times when his readers obey the injunction of his poem, 'Smile' . . . but there will also be times when they will stop, reflect and emerge enlightened from the experience.' Robin Dunbar, Irish Times
