    About this ebook

    "'Um ...', an entertaining collection of poems by Ellie.  From meetings with Yahtzee-playing aliens to dogs with detachable velcro opposable thumbs, you are transported into Ellie's Phantasy World.  Her shaped poems are outrageously humorous and designed with witty illustrations."  Diane Scott, Books from the Valley.

     

    "Ellie Phant's joyfully anarchic style sticks two fingers up at overly moralistic views of human habits and delivers a bundle of belly laughs spiked with insight."  Sarah McIntosh.

    Ellie Phant lives in a caravan in a field full of horses.   Every morning she opens the door to see a line of patient equines telepathing FEED ME.  Which she does. Because they are helping her to become an international showjumper before she is 60 years of age.  Gosh!  Imagine that!

      Um ... - ellie phant
