| Andrew Fusek Peters (b. 1956), the tallest poet in the UK, has written more than 45 books for children, two of them nominated for the Carnegie Medal. His anthology Sheep Don't Go To School has been chosen to be on the National Curriculum, and his choice of the best of his poems, Mad, Bad and Dangerously Haddock, is published by Lion in 2006. He has visited hundreds of schools over the past twenty years, often with his didgeridoo, and always with what the Radio Times called "wonderful poems!"
