What happened to the Rhino's specs? What should you feed an alien? When is a stone not a stone? These questions and more are answered in Gabriel Rosenstock's magical poems for children. Elephants, badgers, hags and of course rhinos feature in funny, strange poems designed to appeal to children of all ages. Gabriel Rosenstock's original Irish poems are wittily translated by Gabriel Fitzmaurice in a collaboration that ensures none of their humor is lost. The Rhino's Specs is a perfect introduction to Irish poetry and is a collection to treasure.
