There’s a little family who lives under each bed.
Some who are blue and some that are red.
It goes without saying that they’re all very small,

They live under a bed – not far away,
They camp out in a mattress between the springs,
Collecting toys and buttons and interesting things...
The Norf clan is an entertaining narrative poem about a mischievous gamily who live under the bed of a young boy and get him into trouble and prove that sometimes, life just isn't fair - but you'll get over it!
