There’s a focussed precision in much of Kate’s writing that turns
many of her poems into sharp injections of humour or close
observation. Her words are gently juxtaposed with black and white
illustrations by the Latvian artist Elīna Brasliņa. Expressive,
playful and good at making you re-read the poem to see another of
its strands, they play an important role in making this book
appealing and approachable.Playing by the Book
*Zoe Toft*
A collection of poems by a new voice writing for children is an
event to be celebrated. Moon Juice by the poet, Kate Wakeling is
just such an event. However, these are not poems created to grab
the attention with the quick laugh and a lot of noise; these are
poems to seduce, to attract because they reflect the imagination of
the young reader. Ferelith Hordon, Books for Keeps
