Do babies look at you and shriek? Do talking parrots give you cheek? And when you kneel to say your prayers. Do all the mice jump up on chairs? Is life for you a diving plank. Above a large piranha tank? Then what you need, my little ones, Is Sister Madge's Book of Nuns.

Wicked, warped and fiendishly funny, this collection of poems by Australia's best writer of comic verse and his cheeky offsider, Craig Smith, introduces us to Sister Madge Mappin and the other eccentric residents of Our Lady of Immense Proportions.
