Illustrations were gorgeous and it was a great introduction to Duffy's poetry, but I had absolutely no idea it was about the Little Ice Age until I read the Goodreads summary and I really, really hate rhyme schemes without purpose (like fine, if it adds something, go ahead? but when you're doing it just for the lols, it just sounds childish and forced and the whole abcdeee thing that was going on wasn't really doing it for me) so didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped to. If I reread in December, I suspect the rating with get bumped up and I appreciate that the criticism is very personal to me. Would recommend only if you can get it cheaply, otherwise it's really not worth spending however much books are for something which isn't exceptional and is super short.
