Contents

  • In his dreams, five-year-old Tucky was a hunter. Armed with his pop-gun, he boldly roamed each distant corner of the earth - and beyond - in pursuit of birds and beasts of every kind. But Tucky's prey, like all true creatures of the night, were real only in his dreams - as Tucky's mother understood when she came for him and sang to him to banish night's alarms.
  • Written with perception and sensitivity, the poem explores the mind of an imaginative small boy and the unique relationship of mother and child.
